How many Iraqis have died since the wonderful election?
I'm just asking, because the horrific slaughter is difficult to keep up with, for every U.S. soldier killed, it seems like 300 Iraqis die in civil war.

Does anyone have figures on how many? I don't even know how to ask the google robot this question.

Is anyone keeping track or estimate? Democracy is not going so well there, except maybe inside the happy shiny green zone.

How can the ape say stay the curse and things are going wonderfully and freedom is on the march when thousands a month are dying?

1. This will be the last post to this thread
No one likes talking about dead Iraqis.

I have been down this road before.

2. Seems like the dems ought to focus on...
how many dead Iraqis under saddam compared to how many have died under bush`s little foray into democracy. It amazes me how there is no focus at all on how many Iraqi citizens have died. Even when our people are charged with cold blooded murder, very, very few have been brought to justice. Is murder not a crime when it concerns an Iraqi?? Does it make a difference because they are brown??

3. Count the severed purple fingers
That'll give you a good measurement.

4. I can't stand
That whenever I have conversations, in person, about the horrific number of dead Iraqis as a direct result of this criminal war, I get blank looks, or even worse, a response of "if they weren't terrorists, they wouldn't be dead."

I'm awfully perssimistic about the general public these days.

5. No one seems to know how many Iraqis have died,
and there doesn't seem to be a really active effort to find out, either.

I can't say I'm proud of this fact.
