Subject: RE: BS: Study: 100,000 Iraqis Killed by US war
The point is, the occupation has consistently refused to collect figures about the number of Iraqis killed. It's as if they don't count, compared to the number of foreign troops.

That means all figures have to be estimates, based on scraps of published information. Whatever they are, remember the population of Iraq is only 25 million to start with - to put the number of deaths in proportion, double whatever figures seems most likely to be accurate to imagine what it'd be like for Britain, and multiply by 12 for the USA.

That's a lot of people.
