Okey, just the ones that died from the famine caused by communism under Stalin then.

Second, if you wish to blame this president for each and every casualty in Iraq, you will have to blame all past presidents for war casualties accordingly (see my previous post). Is FDR really personally responsible for each and every death in WWII?

WWII was not a war of choice, the axis (the real one) was an imminent treat to the world, they had to be crushed, Iraq was not an imminent threat.

Third, according to your reasoning, why is the responsibility solely the president's, when Congress voted for the invasion of Iraq?

Congress voted to give the authority, not for the war itself. You can give a policeman the authority to use his gun, doesn't mean he has to.
