"A massive scale" is rather vague, but I didn't deny any such scale. Depending on what specifically you mean by the term I might agree that it is true. What I deny is that it has been established that 100,000+ Iraqi civilians have been killed by American or allied forces. Not only do I consider an assertion to be unproven I also consider it unlikely. But certainly thousands of Iraqi civilians have been killed in the war, possibly tens of thousands. That is a lot of death as its a horrible thing. In the long run removing the Baathist regime will probably save more lives then it cost but that is no reason to cheer the lost of life or deny it.
