Subject: RE: BS: Realizations about Iran
"The Oxford Research Group determined earlier this year that as many as 10,000 people could die in a U.S. assault on Iran."
And the estimate of the number that might be killed in a global nuclear war????
Iran has stated it will destroy Israel. Israel will retaliate, as will other countries.China, and Russia will get into it over the loss of oil, and North Korea will toss a few at Japan just to show it can't be bullied.
I would think 800,000,000 to 2,000,000,000 dead, unless Pakistan and India decide it is a good time to settle differences, then all bets are off. At least 4,000,000,000 dead within 3 months.
