Yesterday I wrote about the U.S. casualties.
Today is dedicated to the Iraqi victims of this illegal war. Click on "IRAQI SECURITY FORCE & CIVILIAN FATALITIES.
Regardless of whose numbers you choose...they are in the six figures.
from npr.org:
World Health Organization: 151,000 (May 2003 - Nov 2007)
Johns Hopkins School of Public Health: 650,000 (March 2003 - July 2006)
I'll take Johns Hopkins and WHO over any BushCo jive.
And I've heard estimates of 80,000 Iraqi refugee women forced into prostitution in Syria and elsewhere.
Let us pray that this is the beginning of the end.

I'm sure your breakdown of the numbers has Eliot Spitzer on the way to Syria right now.
Sorry, there's nothing funny about this war. I hope you're right about this year's election but the fact that McCain is in front right now is an incredibly scary sequel to the unbelieveable horrors we've already experienced - not just 9/11/2001 but also November/December 2000 and 2004.
