Nanki Poo: I'm not really a musician

Yum Yum: I knew it directly I heard you play!

It's my understanding that the 100,000 'civilian' deaths came from an article out of Johns Hopkins which came up with that figure as an 'average' probability, whereas the actual count of 'collateral' civilian deaths was about one tenth of that. I haven't seen any other source for that figure.

If the original poster could cite sources for his arguments this thread might be able to settle into something capable of dealing with reality. Otherwise, it's just a mud throwing contest (fun as that can be).
