How many Iraqies are dead since the beginning of US occupation?

Answer 1

1, 051,145

Last week, the scale of the tragic Iraqi death toll was confirmed by the prestigious British polling firm Opinion Research Business, ORB. In August, ORB conducted a poll of Iraqis. Their results indicated that 1.2 million Iraqis had died as a result of the conflict. Like our conclusion last month that over a million Iraqis had been killed, their results were largely ignored in the U.S., with the notable exception of an article in the Los Angeles Times.

As a direct result of U.S. armed invasion (bullets,bombs etc etc),the number is probably not too high(although the family members of those who died would probably object-and rightly so- to my dismissal of these ¨relatively few¨ deaths as callous.

However,the U.S. (with the aid and assistance of GB)TOTALLY DESTROYED Iraqui institutions and infrastructure (hospitals,police force,running water,electricity,etc etc). Destruction on such a scale has ,of course, plunged the Iraqui people into a state of chaotic lawlessness and abandon that has taken a tremendous toll of Iraqui lives. The U.S. is directly responsible for the Iraqui people and their welfare as long as we continue to occupy the country.

At this point, the international agencies that keep tabs on the deaths resulting from the U.S. occupation have not been able to collect all the evidence but ,one day, those true figures will be available and they will be in the hundreds of thousands( educated calculations,not partisan guess-work).

In 1898 we took over the Philippine Islands and made them our colony. To do so we had to slaughter about a quarter of a million of them (conservative figures;other historians place the damage at 600,000!). After killing them we proceeded to instruct them in democratic ideals for 40 years before abandoning them to the Japanese who killed a few more thousands. To regain the Philippines,we then bombed and TOTALLY destroyed their 400 year old historical capital and killed countless more. Instead of rebuilding the mess we caused,we abandoned them AGAIN so that the burden of the reparation of our colony(OUR responsibility) would not fall on us!

CAN WE PLEASE STOP TRYING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WORLD AND STOP GIVING LESSONS IN DEMOCRACY!! WE PAY THE $$$ AND THE BENEFICIARIES OF THE LESSONS DIE!

Answer 3

Not as many as if Saddam could have stayed in office. Do not put poor planning for occupation on the military. It was the usual political mistakes that caused this mess. No excuses for those nus in Washington that ignored history.

Answer 4

Ask the Iraqis, then wonder how many would be dead if Saddam was still in power.

Answer 5

Look in every paper or listen to every newscast and it will be a different number. Those for the war will say lower and those against will push the numbers higher.

Answer 6

1.2 million, according to a polling firm which Bush has used before when they've provided what appeared to be good news.

That doesn't include those killed fighting invading armies, nor the 500,000 killed by Bill Clinton's sanctions.

Answer 7

How many Iraqis died at the hands of insurgents? Gotta ask Al Queada that one so let me know when you find out from Irans little man ok!

Answer 8

Iraq Body Count is the reliable source, 700k is just a lie.

Answer 9

Dunno too much to count, but what we can count is how many US troops have died because the Iraqi people are too lazy to fix their own damn country so we can get the hell out. They keep wanting us to police their streets while at the same time bitching that were doing a bad job at it.

Answer 10

Many, by terrorists. Or are you implying that it's the troops fault?. Another troop hater. Blame them but not the real culprits.
