There has been some speculation on these threads about the death toll in Libya as a result of the recent action there. And how much of that was caused by NATO bombs. The New York Times has a long article about it.
A search of the web shows that as of last April, sources on all sides were saying the death toll in Libya was at least ten thousand to thirty thousand. By mid August. sides were considering the possibility of 50 thousand. And still counting. That seems high for a humanitarian mission. And it doesn't count at least double that number maimed.
