The article that I posted to Ray said the number of Iraqis killed by the US and Brits so far is 12k. The article that you linked to provide no support for its contention. Even if it is accepted as true, that "fact" would not support John's original contention that I quoted (and you quoted the quote), "It's surprising that we can and are willing to estimate the number of people killed by SH in a given year but can't or are unwilling to estimate the number that we killed. My guess is that the latter exceeds the former by 10X" If we killed 12K, and Saddam killed less 1/10th or less then that per year that would mean that Saddam would only have killed 12K /10 *30 (For 30 years) or 36,000 over 3 decades. Do you honestly believe the number is that low? Depending on exactly who you decide to count as someone killed by Saddam the number could easily go in to the low millions, more conservatively it would be hundreds of thousands. Even if you don't count the people who died in wars Saddam started 32k is too low. Tim
