As Nadine pointed out we didn't kill them, also why that total may be accurate I'm not sure I'd call it very conservative Bush himself admitted to 30K+ some time ago, and I tacked on 10K for those who have died since. I'd argue that whatever Bush admitted to was definitely on the low side at the time. If it was accurate it, and if things actually do get better than we will have freed 25 million people from a tyrannical regime that was responsible for the deaths of a much greater number of people. If the violence ends tomorrow (yes I know it won't) it would have been worth it. Saddam kept a lid on the violence by using very strong force when needed. He might well be executed for doing so. We have killed a lot of people trying to achieve the same goals. Who ever does achieve the goal will kill a lot more in the process.
