A representative sample of 1,461 adults 18 or older answered this question:

"Q: How many members of your household, if any, have died as a result of the conflict in Iraq since 2003 (i.e, as a result of violence rather than a natural death such as old age)? Please note that I mean those who were actually living under your roof."

Results:

None - 78% One - 16% Two - 5% Three - 1% Four or more - 0.002%

Of those 1,461 questioned 78% said NONE of their relatives died. Now regardless of this, it is obvious that you can't extrapolate those small sample (if accurate at all) to the entire population, since conditions in each town and region are totally different.

If I remember right; just one of the problems with the other polls that showed this high number polled people as to whether they had relatives killed and other relatives of theirs in the poll also answered in the affirmative also resulting in counting the dead more than one time and then extrapolating this.

No questions on how many of those members of your household died after they joined the Jihad, Al Qaeda, planted roadside bombs, or were otherwise shot while engaging US or Iraqi troops?

No questions on how many of those family members died from marketplace car bombs?

So all deaths were counted as 'civilian deaths', and all deaths were the fault of the US?

Typical. In that case, every death in the United States due to violent crime, gangbaning, etc., are the direct fault of the United States as well.
