"I suppose a nation that declines to sign the non-proliferation treaty is "perfectly entitled" to develop all the nuclear weapons it wants." - That's right Guest, basically they are, but that "nation" mentioned in your statement must do it entirely on its own, as those nations who have signed up to the NPT are not permitted to provide assistance.

Bobert, one of the web sites I previously referred you to gives total casualty figures - killed and wounded for US forces, UK forces, Australian forces, Iraqi forces, Iraqi civilians and those classified as "others", i.e. those killed and wounded from countries not included in the other classifications.

With regard to those originally reported as being wounded who later die from wounds received, for that information I would rely on press reports, as I do not know the update procedures and frequency for the individual web sites.

Amos,

I certainly do not "think" there are any "nice" ways to die in a war. The fact still remains blatantly obvious that if you have not signed up to an agreement/contract/convention/treaty, there can be no way that you are bound by its terms or conditions.
