and 1,000,000 more Iraqi's would still be alive or not being forced to have abandoned their homes. Possibly but a huge majority of those where forced out of their home not killed, conflating the two makes it seem like the death toll was much larger than it actually was. Also the actions of Saddam and the effects of the sanctions where resulting in excess deaths if not nearly the same number of people pushed out of their homes (but it might be better to be a refugee than to be in one of Saddam's prisons), so you can't just take some estimate of the number of deaths and act as if that many additional deaths where caused. And we freed somewhere around 25 million people from Saddam's oppression.
