And those numbers are just conservative, IMO. Just wait until the true numbers come out after all the millions of papers are translated....

But some people don't seem to care about the people who were killed by Saddam.

"Human rights groups believe about 300,000 people were killed during Saddam's 24-year rule, which ended when U.S.-led forces toppled his regime in 2003."

And in just under three years, we may have killed 100,000! (count from human rights groups)

So over 24 years he might have killed 300k- which (I assume) includes those killed in the war we (the US) found convenient. Should we really count the victims of the Iran/Iraq war? I'm not sure we should count the war dead- but tell me, you can do the math, how many people a year does that turn out to be, even if you accept the 300k?

Not very many per year, is it? (Not that every life isn't special- but I didn't bring up the "perspective thing"- that was someone else)
