>>Ask the 100,000 civilian dead in Iraq.<<

Is it that many by now? These are Saddam-sized numbers. Equivalent to one million dead Americans or 300 9/11s.

Ask the 100,000 civilian dead in Iraq.

It hasn't been established that there are that many dead in Iraq. This apparently anti-war site claims 14k to just under 16 and 1/2 k.

iraqbodycount.net

But even if there are 100k dead it doesn't negate or in any way respond to my point. "Civilian killed in Iraq" does not equal "victim of terrorism"

Actually a number of the dead in Iraq are the victims of terrorism but the terrorist aren't Americans.
