Skyrad 0 #178 June 26, 2006 QuoteQuote Although what has been described as ‘sectarian violence’ undoubtedly contributes to a growing proportion of deaths, Quote the last year’s total includes 370 known civilian deaths from military action by US-led forces From this document, it is NOT fair to say the US forces have killed 10s of thousands of people. You were asking for scources, here is a paper in a respected journal with other links to further scources. To me this sound like a over estimate personally I think that my conservative estimate of tens of thousands is more likely than 100,000. As quoted in: Mortality before and after the 2003 invasion of Iraq: cluster sample survey. The Lancet, Volume 364, Issue 9448, Pages 1857-1864 L. Roberts, R. Lafta, R. Garfield, J. Khudhairi, G. Burnham Also see the following link http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/330/7491/550?ehom While the UK and US direct kills of civilians remains unknown the dead are dead as a direct consequence of the invasion.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

If I had a nickle for everytime you brought a nonsense Bush bash into a thread, that's how much money I'd have. Close. It's the current direct costs of the Iraq war. Indirect costs resulting from the war (such as long term care for the wounded veterans) will bring the true cost close to and maybe over $1,000,000,000,000 (or $1 Trillion) according to reputable economists. Of course, we'll just borrow the money from our kids.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
