What difference does it make? Dead is dead. Give it a 20% variance and it's still a hell of a lot. |

It's a sad situation, but we're trying. To avoid your worst fears, The U.S. should double the number of troops or the Iraqis should triple the size of theirs. |
IF the us never went there chasing weapons of mass deception in the first place a safe bet would be that a lot more people would have been alive. Oppressed, but alive. Im sure if you asked the dead people they would pick saddams iron rule over the US militarys jihad magnetic rule in a heart beat.
The political side of it is possibly muddles: the numbers are exaggarated to use as an argument against the war and the bush administration or parts thereof. The humanitarian side of it is however clear cut. Be it 300000 or 600000 - so many casualties are not acceptable. Saddam was a bastard, but at least he was THIER bastard!
