The daily death toll in Iraq and the VT shooting have nothing to do with government instituted killing like the Holocaust.

Iraq and VT both reflect random acts of violence (even if the suicidal attackers put some planning into their targets).

It would’ve been more appropriate to compare it to genocidal purging in any of a number of regions. It could be said that if we do not offer some crackdown on the “insurgency” (which is NOT an Iraqi led resistance), the resulting government rule that emerges from the chaos could likely be oppressive to any of a number of religious minorities, including variant sects of Islam BY other muslims.

I doubt they even noticed the difference in their paychecks...;-)

They likely moved on to more fruitful pursuits.

The drawing is not referenced by the text (it came centuries later).

Two books will give you lots to ponder:

Will Eisner's Comics And Sequential Art

Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics

Now I know why American jobs are going to people who were educated in other countries.

There are two of them. In one of them - Maus II IIRC - there's a single panel depicting when the Americans show up to liberate the death camp. Silly thing to tell it - a few dogs in uniform carrying M1's and the entire sky an American flag - I've never had a single panel in a comic punch me in the gut like that. Highly recommended.

Let me guess...Endless slides of paintings of baby Jesus by guys whose names end in vowels?

Nope - I took pre-Renaissance art history. Lots of ancient and medieval sculpture and architecture, not so many paintings.

And the early Christian art was that we did see was, IMO, among the most impressive seen in the course - especially the Gothic cathedrals.
