No creditable observer has come anywhere close to that number. I have posted at least two links showing that even a million is way off. I don't remember seeing anything in your links that showed that when you add all of the wars, internal and external and all of the domestic deaths from the sanctions and from Saddam grabbing the resorces for the military and WMD, that a million was way off. I provided two links......one suggested a number close to 500k, the other less than 500k. I am more inclined to believe the lesser figure because for all the talk of gassing Kurds, as it turns out, only one village of 5k was gassed. In fact, it looks like the Turks have killed as many Kurds as Saddam. Finally, if you want to hear more exaggeration, check how many Iraqis Iran claimed to have killed in the Iraqi/Iranian war. Its the neighborhood......they're into big dicks, or at least into claiming they all have big ones! ted
