I don't know if that is true.

If true, the answer to your question is no.

Do Iraqi deaths mean anything to you other than rhetorical ammunition?

A few years ago the blame-America folks were proclaiming large numbers of deaths due to sanctions (which are now ended as a result of the war). Example - this site claimed sanctions were killing 91,250 Iraqis a year of whom 60,000 - 72,000 were children:

About 250 people die every day in Iraq because of the sanctions. Many of them are children.
UNICEF estimates that now 5,000 - 6,000 children die every month


Roughly twice the annual death rate claimed by the bogus Lancet "study".
