The Novak Zone?

Bob Novak is making a great deal of Tony Blair's unfaltering support for the war in the face of mounting casualties. It should be noted that while April has been the most deadly month thus far for U.S. troops in Iraq, the sum total of British soldiers that have died in Iraq this month is zero.

Each British citizen, or any citizen for that matter, lost in Iraq is a tragedy. However, that doesn't change the fact that Novak is being disingenuous. It's tough going for Blair already, but had 89 British soldiers died by mid-month, he would be facing a maelstrom of negative press and an even more hostile Parliament.
