Muslim insurgency stokes fear in southern Thailand
Some are already calling it war, a brutal Muslim separatist insurgency in southern Thailand that has taken as many as 2,000 lives in three years, with almost- daily bombings, drive-by shootings, arson and beheadings.
It is a conflict the government admits it is losing. A harsh crackdown and martial law in recent years seem only to have fueled the insurgency, generating fear and anger and undermining moderate Muslim voices.

What Costs Taxpayers $317 Bil & increases every second? Bush's Iraq War
You may have seen this running counter before, but the number is so staggering that it needs to be reviewed periodically. It's a running total of the U.S. taxpayer cost of the Iraq War. The number is based on Congressional appropriations.
