As for the numbers of dead via Saddam:

1. Estimates of the war dead from the Iran Iraq War -1 to 1.5 million
encyclopedia.com

2. Estimates of Gulf War dead (91) - numbers vary from 100,000 to ~23,000 (including missing Kuwaitis)

3. Estimates of Iraqi dead due to UN Sanctions from 1991-1998, due Saddam's refusal to abide by his international agreements with the UN and USA - estimates vary from a million to 1.5 million. users.erols.com

4. Estimates of state murders (Kurds, Shiites, political opponents...) 300,000 to 500,000
users.erols.com

totals: 2.3 million to 3.5 million people.

re:"I think, unless you have some documentation, your guess of Iraqi dead via Saddam is greatly inflated, not justified, but inflated."
