Saddam.....estimates vary but 1,000,000 on the low side

91 Gulf War - upper end of the estimates are 35,000 Iraqis with approximately 1,000 to 5,000 civilians

Gulf War II - not more than the circumstances dictate and the US unlike Iraq will go to great lengths to minimize those numbers....

Another interesting fact....is that Saddam's misuse of the UN sanctioned oil revenues results in an estimated 65,000 Iraq deaths per year. Almost all of those are civilian deaths and over 2/3 are children.

So, you do the math.....the barbarians are the ones who oppose the war....not those like me who see the evil and wish to end it.....
