The number of Iraqis killed at the last count was 650000 with a similar amount of near fatal injuries causing loss of limb and paralysis. The number in my estimation must be near to 700000
dead which is considerable by any standard. I know Bush has denied this but the 650000 is an official united nations estimate, taken over six weeks ago. The number of Americans and English killed is around 2700.
j.m.glass---When America and Britain invaded Iraq, one of the first actions taken was to blitz Baddad, causing the deaths of thousands of inocent iraqis. The history of Iraq is complex due to
somthing called the Balfour (hope thats the way you spell it) agreement made by the UN just after the war. This agreement split the middle east up into boundries, unfortunately, not all the ethnic factions got on within these boundaries, so, you are right the area has always been troubled. The only person able to keep those factions together in Iraq was Saddam, he will be a great loss to Iraq. Saddam was a principle puppet of America and America used Saddam. America is running out of oil fast, so, when Saddam refused to budge on oil prices your Gerorge cohersed our idot of a leader 'Blair' to join him on the invaision. As soon as Saddam was out the way hell broke loose that is why there is now a civil war. Saddam has done many bad things but the country was relatively stable under his rule and he provided work, schools, homes, and living standards were improving for all ethnic factions. I understand that news of the war was restricted and edited (some democrecy you have) to Americans.
The figures I mention are caused as a result of the invasion not necessaily due to armed combat. However, you must remember your troops have killed many British soldiers and a number of our Journalist. America and Britain are responsible for removing Saddam and thus responsible for what happened thereafter, You must also remember America has been using outlawed Cluster bombs and new weaponary that has wiped out Iraqi Fredom fighters and civilians alike. On one occasion your troops wiped out a whole family including children and grand parents. We don't know how many were killed in the holding camps in Iraq where your troops beat and tortured Iraqis or the concentration camps scatered in cuba and other areas outside America and we are not likely to know either. If you were to count the numbers of those killed by just listning to the news i'm affraid 60000 just makes America a laughthing stock. The only way to solve both Britains and Amrica's problems is to stand high and tell the truth.

I don't know where some of these numbers have come from but according to the web site Iraqi Body Count They list the total non combatant death toll as between 52,139 and 57,707. You have to take into perspective where these numbers come from. If someone is killed because they are at the market and a suicide bomber drives a car bomb into the crowd or somebody standing anywhere in the vacinity has a heart attack are they counted as a calateral death. Are these deaths a murder or a casualty of war. Were the people killed in the Oklahoma bombing murdered or casualties of war. The death toll counts anybody that is killed. If a body is found it's considered a casualty how do we know it wasn't a robbery, or some other murder. According to the FBI statistics there where 1,390,695 violent crimes in the US in 2005. 16,692 where murders.
We have no idea how many of these people would have been killed by Saddam Hessian or his Guard.
If we were to pull out of Iraq tomorrow do you think the loss of Iraq life would be less, or would they continue to keep killing each other? My son has been there for a year and he tells me there are only 2 ways a soldier or anyone else for that matter gets killed. 1. They get stupid. 2. God decides there time on earth is completed, and the first is never exclusive of the second.

do you recognize who's doing the killing? they are killing themselves, that's a certainty that the media markedly leaves out. they save blowing themselves up and taking a effective chew of people alongside. there is not any pity here. human beings are loss of existence there too, do no longer forget approximately them the two in case you may decide directly to speak approximately unfair loss of life. Edit: Your source would not say what number Iraqis died as a results of yankee solders firing on civilians, on Iraqi solders, on Iraqi insurgents. Your source would not say, what number Iraqis died as a results of Iraqi suicide bombers, Iraqi gunmen, Iraqi Insurgents, Iraqi executions, etc... no longer regarding the U. S. occupation. Your source would not say if the deaths that are being accounted for are of organic motives, or ailment, or detrimental wellness centers, or starvation, etc.. Your sources are generalizing a timeframe, and submitting the variety of loss of life to coincide as though it grow to be quickly regarding the U. S. occupation in Iraq.

When did the invasion end?
We are still an occupying military force so all the deaths would have to be counted from day one of the invasion. (Not that our government bothers to keep track of such things - We can minimize "collateral damage" without tracking the numbers of people we kill by accident)
