This question was already asked and it was agreed that between 2 and 3 million that we know of was killed under Saddam. 15,000 were found in one mass grave where they were shot in the back of the head and another 3,000 in the same manner in just 2 cases. You also seem to forget that people have been dying in Iraq by the insurgents before the US came in and car bombings have been going on for years. Also you can't believe the death numbers they spit out daily,it takes longer than that to compile these numbers, I know

About 2,900 now. Though, that does not even include Afghanistan.
In Iraq, there were many rival groups that were gassed and tortured (mainly Kurds). Saddam did not tolerate insurgents or terrorists and did a good job of keeping them out. Despite the fact that Saddam caused the death of more people, we know now there was no good reason to start the Iraq war in the first place.

It's sad that all this people sacrifice for saddam act.Few thousands of life exchange for 1 saddam life, think he still win in the end.

The problem is that we don't know how many civilians have been killed, as the numbers are confused and unsupportive

I don't think there is much to choose at the moment but things will get worse before they get better.
