"How many people died under Saddam during the sanctions and how many died during the war?"

Deaths were attributed to the sanctions above the number of deaths occurring prior to the initiation of the sanctions. In many southern areas the number of childhood deaths doubled. The estimate given by UN organizations was 1million, half of which were reported to be children. The attribution to the sanctions was not disputed by us. In fact, Albright recognized it as a direct association and stated it is worth it.

Since the beginning of the war until April 2009 it has been estimated that between 91,924 to 100,348 civilian deaths have occurred due to violence. We don't know how many of these would have occurred under other circumstances but in nations living under normal circumstances there are large numbers of death by violence as well. In the USA we have that many rapes in one year. We have over 2.2million assaults per year.
