I came across this graphic recently ("image of the day" doesn't mean I'm restricted to photos) and I found it quite interesting. Roughly speaking, it's a graph of governments killing people - including wars where people are sent to kill other people. ...

The graph would have indicated something rather striking if it included massacres in Rwanda and Brueni while massacres also continued in Sudan, Ethiopia, Congo, Liberia, etc. IOW we saw massive death in Kuwait but little in Central Africa - even thought the spike on that graph should have shot over 2m after 1995.
