Would you please list your source for those figures? I was looking for this recently and had a difficult time finding reliable, unbiased information.
For example I found a site called www.iraqbodycount.org, but it's run by 2 British anti-war activists, so the information is most likely suspect because of their agenda.
Then of course there's Aljazeera, which says it is "100% sure that 37,000 civilian deaths is a correct estimate."

Though how an "estimate" can be 100% sure, I'll never know.
Anyway, please share your source - I would like to see some accurate numbers on this. |
What would your estimate be? Why doesn't our government tell us the figure?
Oh, thats right, killing innocent people is just part of war!!! Remember how angry we felt after 9/11? I would imagine there are plenty of iraqi citizens that are just as angry, and are most likely laying the blame on bush&co. I do not have a source for this, it just seems like common sense.
As much as i prefer not to have bush as pres, if another country came in and took him out and tried to put their "choice" in power, i would be pretty fighting mad.
ALso, we need to remember the 5000+ disabled vets, some of who are probably pretty angry and saying "What was it all for?"
