10,000 Iraqi Civilians Dead Posted by Lakshmi on February 10, 2004 @ 10:52AM The war and the subsequent occupation have now resulted in the deaths of a staggering 10,000 Iraqi civilians. The group of academics who run Iraq Body Count.org base their estimate on media reports since both the coalition forces and the Iraqi Governing Council forbid counting of civilian casualties. More importantly, the website makes clear just how disproportionate the U.S. response to 9/11 has been: "So far, in the 'war on terror' initiated since 9/11, the USA and its allies have been responsible for over 13,000 civilian deaths, not only the 10,000 in Iraq, but also 3,000-plus civilian deaths in Afghanistan, another death toll that continues to rise long after the world's attention has moved on. "Elsewhere in the world over the same period, paramilitary forces hostile to the USA have killed 408 civilians in 18 attacks worldwide. Adding the official 9/11 death toll (2,976 on 29 October 2003) brings the total to just under 3,500." alternet.org
