Grim Milestone Watch

A grim milestone passed this week with little fanfare in the big media. Indeed, there wasn't a run of AP stories and the New York Times didn't use the grim milestone phrasing either.

Since 9/11, there have been 10,000 terrorist attacks by Islamic terrorists.

Let that sink in a moment.

10,000.

At the moment, we're up to 10,019. And counting.

In just the past two days, the following attacks have occurred:

11/17/2007 (Mogadishu, Somalia) - Two civilians on a minibus are killed in a roadside bomber attack by Islamists.
