What is the real death toll in Iraq? The Americans learned one lesson from Vietnam: don't count the civilian dead. As a result, no one knows how many Iraqis have been killed in the five years since the invasion. Estimates put the toll at between 100,000 and one million. The British polling firm Opinion Research Business (ORB) asked 1,720 Iraqi adults last summer if they had lost family members by violence since 2003; 16% had lost one, and 5% two. Using the 2005 census total of 4,050,597 households in Iraq, this suggests 1,220,580 deaths since the invasion.

The death toll in Iraq is over a half of million, with over 5 million displaced in other countries. Yes Saddam is said to have killed 20,000 people while the United States has killed 500,000. One could ask who is the worse murderer. With Saddam the Iraq people had religious freedom, lights, water, jobs, food and homes. Under the United States the Iraq people have little to nothing while their oil is being stolen. Al Qaeda was never in Iraq and now it's just a civil war caused by the illegal invasion. We talk about this the anniversary yet Americans forget we used 250 bombs in Iraq and only 3 hit the right target the others hit innocent men/woman/children while they slept. I don't think that's something to be proud of, but that's just me.
Well, I see Canada hires idiotic morons, too.
