And Bush41 and Clinton murdered as many or more with their bombing and
sanctions. This is clearly another american holocaust along with the
ones we committed in vietnam and japan and germany and against the
indians.

Survey: 655,000 died as result of Iraq invasion
U.S., Iraqi researchers say mortality estimate startling but
scientific

By DAVID BROWN / The Washington Post
WASHINGTON – A team of American and Iraqi researchers estimates that
655,000 more people have died in Iraq since coalition forces arrived
in March 2003 than would have died if the invasion had not occurred.
The estimate, produced by interviewing residents during a random
sampling of households throughout the country, is far higher than ones
produced by other groups, including Iraq's government.
It is more than 20 times the estimate of 30,000 civilian deaths that
President Bush gave in a speech in December. It is more than 10 times
the estimate of roughly 50,000 civilian deaths made by the
British-based Iraq Body Count research group.
Of the total 655,000 estimated "excess deaths," 601,000 resulted from
violence and the rest from disease and other causes, according to the
study. This is about 500 unexpected violent deaths per day throughout
the country.
The survey was done by Iraqi physicians and overseen by
epidemiologists at Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of
Public Health. The findings are being published online today by the
British medical journal The Lancet.
While acknowledging that the estimate is large, the researchers
believe it is sound for numerous reasons. The recent survey got the
same estimate for immediate post-invasion deaths as the early survey,
which gives the researchers confidence in the methods. The great
majority of deaths were also substantiated by death certificates.
