CB, do the 300,000 include any casualties from the wars against Iran and the USA [Desert Storm]? I think Saddam, Uday and co didn't have 300,000 of their own victims, though Saddam's daughters' husbands and swarms of others must have made a very large number. On the other hand, that's only 1% of the population, and in a very repressive totalitarian regime, they could get up to 1% over a period of two decades. I suppose the USA could say to Iraqis, "Hey, okay! We'll take a poll and if more than 50% want us out, we'll get Saddam and put him back in his palaces and leave town. He can run the show again, or you can replace him yourselves. There's no way we're going to hand over to Osama's mates. He hasn't got WMDs now, so we're okay with him back in charge." Mqurice
