100,000 Dead In Iraq
"The startling news that some 100,000 people, nearly all of them Iraqi civilians, have been killed in Iraq since the U.S. invasion in March 2003 should give Americans pause when considering the costs of the war. Until now, the official line from Washington has been that 'we don't count' Iraqis killed, only American soldiers killed. That total, more than 1,000, is bad enough. With this new scientific estimate, the consequences of this misbegotten war should be front-and-center in the coming days."
Startling and heartbreaking. Bush's attitude about the Iraqi people being less than important sickens me! They too are the casualities of this war and deserve to be in the body count. It's their homeland after all!
