“For the past three years, most reported deaths of civilians are caused by the insurgents and militias.”
You just hit the nail on the head. What all these reports, Lancet, UN and IBC leave out is that the main engine for these casualty reports is insurgent and militia (read terrorist) activity. Fewer terrorists mean fewer civilian casualties. If these concerned and caring folk really did care about innocent Iraqis, they would acknowledge that simple fact, put aside their politically-driven agenda and get behind the Coalition effort to restore basic order and stability. Their own personal politics can be put aside until Iraqis can walk their streets and American troops can come home.
