People always say religion is the problem for the world's wars currently. Who cares? Be at is it may. Please do not see this question as an attack but simply as a different perspective. How many people have died in the name of Bush's democracy in Iraq?

Too many. If it was only one person it would be too many. His whole war was based on lies and deceit. Nobody deserved to die.
3000+ US Soliders have died
16,000 + Iraqi Civilians, police, and soliders in 2006 alone.
It is sickening that he can get away with this.

Most of the people who have been killed in Iraq have died because of religious differences, not in the name of democracy. About 3,500 westerners have died in Iraq who may be classified as being killed in the name of democracy (that's EVERYONE'S democracy, not just Bush's). Most of the thousands upon thousands of deaths of the civilian population have been caused by one religious faction killing another and would probably have occurred whether British and US troops were present in Iraq or not. The power vacuum left when Sadam's Baathist Party was removed from governing the country has inevitably left the rival Sunni and Shi'ite factions competing for power - and they hate each other so bloodshed is inevitable but not really anything to do with democracy.

TOO MANY... and to ice the proverbial cake, Bush uses Christianity as a crutch in order to do it. His version of democracy is making veterans' lives pure hell, military members are suffering, family members suffer, Iraqis suffer, anybody he sets his sights on... Iran, N Korea (granted their leader's a nutjob, you don't demonize other countries), he's destroying our economy and the environment... okay I'm not going to have another rant session, but you all get the idea.

About 3,000 Americans, and 300,000 (by conservative estimates) Iraqis. These figures are dwarfed by the number of people who have died in the name of religion throughout history.
It continues in Iraq, among other places, today.

The question should be ... 'Is it worth killing people in the name of democracy?'
Oh and 3,000? American lives the only ones worth counting?
