CarolC,

"According to the Iraq Body Count project, the most frequently cited source, at least 38,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed since May 1, 2003, "
And another 20,000 from combat- So the US is accountable for about 35,000 "civilian casualties"- and the insurgents for the rest.

35,000 is not 400,000- the per 100,000 figure would be 23.625- too many, but close enough to Fernando's "Iraqi civilian deaths 27.51 per 100,000." And a lot less than in DC....


Feel free to argue about the significance of the numbers, but please try to use accurate numbers.
