That war did cost more than 1 milion people!
Yep, started by Saddam Hussein, it did cost 500 thousand of his citizen and Iranian citizens their lives. If Iraq or Iran had wone we'd have probably seen more elevated numbers than that.
Hussein's chemical attack on the kurds was reported to have cost hundreds of thousands of lives, I believe. And then he and his sons were probably directly or indirectly responsible for another 500 thousand or so deaths in Iraq.
The democrats blithely ignore this when they decry our entry into Iraq. Amazing.
