Still Looking For The Casualties

Just as we saw in Kabul, Kandahar shows little evidence of any civilian casualties, let alone massive ones.

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if we find out that, in overthrowing the Taliban, probably fewer civilians have died in the past couple of months than they would have killed themselves, had they not been distracted by dodging bombs. I hope someone can gather the data (i.e., nominal death rate due to ongoing executions and starvation via Taliban misrule prior to 911) and do the comparison.
