You cannot be seriously comparing the US to this.

Certainly, it's no secret Hussein racked up an incredibly ghastly body count. Although genuinely accurate numbers are impossible to know, Human Rights Watch (HRW) pegs its best guess at "290,000 'disappeared' and presumed killed [in Iraq, including] the following: more than 100,000 Kurds killed during the 1987-88 Anfal campaign and lead-up to it; between 50,000 and 70,000 Shi'a arrested in the 1980s and held indefinitely without charge, who remain unaccounted for today; an estimated 8,000 males of the Barzani clan removed from resettlement camps in Iraqi Kurdistan in 1983; 10,000 or more males separated from Feyli Kurdish families deported to Iran in the 1980s; an estimated 50,000 opposition activists, including Communists and other leftists, Kurds and other minorities, and out-of-favor Ba'athists, arrested and 'disappeared' in the 1980s and 1990s; some 30,000 Iraqi Shi'a men rounded up after the abortive March 1991 uprising and not heard from since; hundreds of Shi'a clerics and their students arrested and 'disappeared' after 1991; several thousand marsh Arabs who disappeared after being taken into custody during military operations in the southern marshlands; and those executed in detention – in some years several thousand – in so-called 'prison cleansing' campaigns." (Per George Black, Iraq's Crime of Genocide: the Anfal Campaign against the Kurds [New Haven, Connecticut: Yale University Press], and Human Rights Watch, Justice for Iraq: A Human Rights Watch Policy Paper, December 2002.)

thus far under sixty 4,000 Iraqi's have been killed in American conflict movements, maximum of them by using the insurgents. the only mass graves there are those that Saddam left at the back of. So your "knowledgeable estimate" is approximately 10 situations over the surely count quantity. disgrace on YOU for mendacity approximately mass graves and inflating the physique count quantity! you're actually not even in the USA.

There may be mass graves at the Alamo in San Antonio, TX, where Santa Ana's forces killed all the Texians and Tennesee volunteers. Second, it's possible that at Little Big Horn, where Gen. George Custer and his men were wiped out by the Native Americans. Third, is Antitem, VA, where 24,500 US & Confederate troops died in a single battle during the Civil War, the bloodiest, most costly battle in US history. Also on December 7, 1941, the USS ARIZONA and its crewed were killed and subjected to a watery, mass grave. Americans have fought on both sides of wars, for good reasons and for not so good. There are mass graves here at home. As for Arlington, my Commanding Officer is buried there in a place of honor. I don't take that lightly. Don't play politics with our dead vets!!!!

What are you trying to say ? you can't distinguish the difference between people killed because of their religious and political views and a cemmentary honoring falling soldiers ? I know what your trying to compare but its just not the same ! The fact is
there have been mass graves uncovered in the US,but none in recent history.! Those of American Indians and slaves are examples ! Your comparison to Saddam's genocide and American soldiers who gave their lives in defense for what they believed is a dishonor to Saddam's victims and the families of American war dead !

I believe not just only in Iraq there is some more places on this Earth with mass graves. Also in USA.

Military veterans are buried there...seperately. Not in mass graves. Victims in Iraqi mass graves were civilians who were rounded up and executed. If you can't tell the difference between the two then please don't reproduce. There's already too many stupid people in the world.

You are a fool to believe that innocent defenseless civilians are the same as those who had a uniform and could defend themselves. There are wars and in wars young men die. But without wars, people like Hitler and Stalin would rule. They would not adhere to the no war policy of all counrties and take them all by force.

Americans killed several hundred million Natives during their occupation. Their bodies were not even buried most of the time.
