You forgot to add the number of people killed as a result of Saddam's invasion of Iran, Saddam's invasion of Kuwait, Saddam's strategy for defeating UN Sanctions by starving his own people (while bribing officials with "oil for food" monies).

Oooh, you'll like this. Tell Chris that all of the deaths that occur in Iraq are Saddam's fault. Even the ones that occurred in Haditha...It's official Rummy policy...

"Any casualty that occurs, any death that occurs, is a direct result of Saddam Hussein's policies," a spokeswoman for the United States Secretary of Defence, Donald Rumsfeld, told journalists.

Whats your point? Saddam was a bad guy? Of course he was. But thats no reason to go to war and then botch any chance we may have had for a successful outcome. That falls on this admin. I am still of the belief that if the post war period was run right, we may have had a chance to keep Humpty together in a moderate, somewhat democratic, federal environement.
