You didn't include Iraqi civilians killed by us during the invasion. They count too!

War is hell. In war there are always the innocent, who are not targeted, who get caught in the line of fire.

In certain instances, when an entire population is forged into a war machine against you, you attack the infrastructure in order to break their will...which is also hell. We did that to the Germans and the Japanese...but we always calculated in the ways to do so so as to hasten the end of the war and avoid even larger numbers of civilians killed.

In recorded history, the United States has gone to greater lengths and greater pains to avoid that when possible that any other comparable world power.

That's a huge difference between us and the enemy...they intentionally target the innocent in order to terrorize.

I do not know the numbers of those civilains killed unitnetnionally by our forces...I am not sure anyone does. But these numbers are fairly well known and the point is they show that the Iraqis themselves are carrying the brunt of the burden of this fight...as they should...but not reported by the MSM, are noted by the DNC.
