Subject: RE: BS: Islamic terrorists arrested in Ontario
Shit, Fernando, you can't even come up with your own pablum. You have to steal it from someone else (unless you're Eric Rasmusen)...

But you got it wrong. Eric puts the rate at 45 per 100,000 per year. And he is wrong as well.

Since you and GUEST,05 Jun 06 - 12:30 PM appear determined to change the subject and talk about Iraq here in this thread, I will go ahead and address your and his/her attempts at obfuscation...

The actual death rate of civilians in Iraq that are directly a result of the US led invasion and occupation is much closer to about 600,000 since the beginning of the invasion, more than two hundred thousand in the first 18 months alone. See this page for numbers. 200,000 comes from the Lancet survey, which Tony Blair considers to be "the most accurate survey there is"...

So that would make the death rate for civilians resulting from the war more like 765 per 100,000 per year.
