Taliban killed three US troops in the Pashtun south with two bombings, bringing the death toll for July 2010 to 63, the highest since W. began the war.

    In the scheme of things 66/month is not going to change anything. That is just the way it is. I am guessing but if a large state missed pension or bond payments that might change things.
