Don't be ignorant. Here is how simple it is. In search type "Iraqi civilian deaths" Up will pop 1000 links. You can compare actual US military counts vs. UN counts vs. over 40 different governments or non government agents. data base counts. Results for actual named marked graves being 100,000, unmarked graves could be near a million. Most unbiased surveys state between 200-400,000 killed, I split the difference.
Right now they have marked over 200,000 unknown graves, some mass graves. Most were in battle areas. Slowly they're digging them up to determine cause. They say it's fairly easy to determine who and what killed them, just very expensive, so they just pull a few. Many think years from now we'll be accused of mass murder. The US military has fought against digging up unknown graves...They want to protect the rights of the dead not to be disturbed.
In the end, we have somewhere between 1-2 million dead, we'll never know, but was it worth it for nothing.
I have no problem taking war to a civilian population that supports a government and the war machine. Iraq can't be compared to Germany.
Not to mention none of our interest that meet a war agenda were met.
If so, then we need to be at war with over 20 other nations.
