Interesting chart of Iraq

The NY Times published a chart of Iraq that attempts to visually portray where the trouble spots are. There are several interesting things about the chart.

• Most of the violence is concentrated in Baghdad
• Iraqis are suffering by far the most casualties
• Civilians especially are suffering
• Large areas of the country are violence-free

Was that the picture you had of Iraq?

UPDATE: Cori Dauber talks about the article that this picture accompanied. If you read what Cori has to say about it, you'll understand why I didn't bother to link to it.
