Tens of thousands have died already, maybe hundreds of thousands, except we don't do body counts except when it serves some W PR purpose of the moment. And what's going on now looks close enough to a civil war too, to the point that some kind of breakup now looks almost optimistic. Come on Win.. While you're grasping for statistics, why not just say what you REALLY feel.. TENS OF MILLIONS OF IRAQIS HAVE DIED, MAYBE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS!!! Why not just say we're responsible for genocide in Iraq? Tell us stories about how Abu G and Bucca are really American versions of Auswitz and Treblinka.. while you're at it. The reality is that US forces are responsible for FAR FEWER Iraqis deaths than are Iraqis themselves (either criminal, terrorist, etc...).. And in case you're forgotten.. the US was being blamed for the alledged 500,000 Iraqis children who allegedly died due to the oil for food sanctions... Forget the fact that Saddam's regime, with the complicity of the United Nations leadership, was responsible for denying basic food and medicien to Iraq's population.. Btw, been a pretty quiet day in Iraq. Much less violence than AMZ was claiming he was ready to unleash upon the country.. Hawk
