Well done and thanks for the arguments.
The sectarian killing in Iraq in the last weeks looks really bad on television and I hear that the Iranians are sending in more terrorists to up the body count.
Still deposing Saddam can be justified on humanitarian grounds alone. We have put away one of histories worst mass killers and to do nothing while he brutally tortured and snuffed out innocent people over and over again would be far worse than taking the action that we did. Let's hope Iraqi democracy works.

I've always thought the figures would play out in a similar way to how they do in your essay, but I was too lazy to do the math.
Thank you for going through the figures so I don't have to :-).

Yes, take a few minutes to read how these "studies" get their 100,000 figure and what they are counting. Some of the deaths they are counting are like counting the 19 terrorists on 9/11 as victims of 9/11. Of course that makes sense when you remember that leftists care more about the enemies of America than either Americans or innocents. That's why they favor letting child molesters back out on the streets to molest again and kill. They are more about the criminal and deviant than their innocent victims.

the plight of the average Iraqi civilian has improved since the coalition intervention The death rate in Iraq has actually decreased since Saddam Hussein was removed from power.
There are 183 countries with a death rate per 1,000 higher than Iraq. Those countries include North and South Korea, Cuba, Canada, Ireland, Switzerland, Japan, Spain, the UK, the EU, and the United States of America.
The world death rate per 1,000 is 8.67; Iraq is 5.37.
