Guys, cool off -- there is reported fact for that number, sorry. If 100,000 Iraqis are dead it is very obvious that the vast majority of them were killed by US munitions. You can do an extrapolation, and estimate it at, say, 75,000 (to be really conservative about it) but there's no body count, and we really don't need any precision.

The fact is that tens of thousands of Iraqis have been killed by US forces. Killed permanently.

The other fact is that prior tot he invasion, there were no Iraqis trying to kill Americans, in or out of uniform, as far as I recall. Any correction out there?
