Who gets the credit?

The BBC goes on about war deaths, but in a different way than normal.

Wars around the world are both less frequent and less deadly since the end of the Cold War, a new report claims.

The Human Security Report found a decline in every form of political violence except terrorism since 1992.

They include the requisite anti-American quotes about Iraq, but I do like this part…

The fall in the number of deaths per conflict is due to a change from large-scale war between huge armies with heavy weaponry to low-intensity conflicts that “pit weak government forces against ill-trained rebels.

“Although often brutal, they kill relatively few people,” the report says.

So once again we have another indicator that the government is becoming more inept, and the people are more lazy.
