Yes, they consider (in they're twisted view of the world) every person other than an American soldier to be an Iraqi civilian killed by an American soldier.
I saw an estimate somewhere that we were stacking up insurgents 20:1; so by my math that's about 40,000 dead bad guys.
No. Really. They do.
Oh. And by the way, hell is the next stop on this train.
Should we fight or just go along for the ride?
More like a party.
Exactly. Funny how they say Saddam was not a threat as long as we followed a policy of "containment".
However, that would have meant that he could continue to kill 2000 Iraqis a month.
Guess they really don't give a damn about the number of Iraqis killed.
Except, apparently Johns Hopkins

but when the cause is just, the death toll is irrelevant, and downplaying the necessary death toll undermines our arguments for the war.
Unless you include the tens of thousands of terrorists killed by our brave men and women in uniform, but then again, most of them are not Iraqi.
Most of the insurgency are Iraqis, but they represent the forces of the past. We are the force of the present and the future.

Since we are fighting for freedom and democracy, anyone fighting against us in Iraq, be they Iraqi or not, are terrorists..
HERE IS THE REAL AND OFFICAL LIST OF VICTIMS.
Pray for all those who have died.

Actually, none of the wars that you list were fought with the motives that you suggest. Maybe you should refrain from calling people idiots. :o)
I will HONOR the Servicemen that died. HONOR! and I dont think 100,000 Iraqis and other insurgents died. I dont mourn the deaths of the ememy in any event.
They've been practicing too; just look back on our own soil and the Wellstone Funeral..
Imagine these a$$holes back in the early/mid 1940's? They think 2K is bad across these past few years, they would double over and lick german boots, dress in a snappy facist uniforms and throw some serious sig heil's around rather than suffer the loss of life within 20 minutes alone at Normandy for the fight for freedom. These days, our guys are going at it of their own free will but I digress.
Likewise, why we fought Germany after Japan attacked us is an interesting thing to discuss. But apart from the discussion, the fact remains: without American intervention a great many more Jews would have died in death camps created for the purpose of genocide.
And I will maintain that we went to Iraq for purposes of regime change. We went there to free 26 million Iraqis.
I hope your not sorry we did that.

From where does this figure come? I'd be curious to know what the average number of deaths per year were in Baghdad before the war. I'd like to see that number compared to the number of deaths per year in any comparably sized city.
That is because it is the same group.

(Did I mention Ramsey Clark is one of Saddam's lawyers?)
My gosh, here he is again with John Kerry!
Of course, the anti-war nuts seized on the larger number. But anyone who knows anything about statistics knows that a range this broad is meaningless. Example: would you sign an employment contract that said your salary was "between $10,000 and $100,000"?
I thought not. Does sound a little vague, doesn't it?
