Jochen, Apart from the reliability of a report written by an organization opposed to sanctions, let alone war, did you actually read the report? The reason I ask is that I just pulled it up and it has the following quoted table (UN Sources): TABLE 1 Iraqi deaths directly attributable to the Gulf War Iraqi military deaths 100,000-120,000 Iraqi civilans during war 3,500-15,000 Iraqi civilians from February to end April 1991 4,000-6,000 Iraqi civilian deaths in civil war 20,000-35,000 Refugee deaths 15,000-30,000 total between 142,500 and 206,000 As a result to get to 206,000 you need to lump in the 120,000 military deaths and the 71,000 killed by (or while fleeing) Saddam.
