[For lack of a real person](http://www.ichabod2.com/wordpress/?p=56&ref=opendemocracy.net) finds it surprising that *only* 64% voted against the [ban on gun sales](http://www.opendemocracy.net/globalization-institutions%5Fgovernment/brazil%5F2955.jsp) in Brazil, and suggests that with 36,000 annual gun deaths in Brazil, Americans should stop complaining about their 2000 Iraq war dead. Huh? Why? Here are [photos](http://www.flickr.com/photos/gammablablog/tags/2000toomany/show/?ref=opendemocracy.net) from the [2000 too many](http://www.unitedforpeace.org/article.php?id=3118&ref=opendemocracy.net) peace protest in New York's Times Square the day before yesterday. The NY Times has a chilling [online interactive feature](http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/26/national/IRAQDEATHS%5FGRAPHIC.html?oref=login&ref=opendemocracy.net) with the faces, names and ages of the (mostly) young men who died. How's this for perspective instead? At least 26,732 Iraqi civilians dead, according to [Iraq Body Count](http://www.iraqbodycount.net/?ref=opendemocracy.net).
