Not my figures Ron, they are the UNHCR's.

And averaging bears no relevance during Saddam's time 3 million out of a population of 23 million, i.e. 13% of the total population. Post Saddam lets call it 900,000 (hundreds of thousands) out of a population of 26.8 million, i.e. 3.36% of the total population.

Sort of indicates that as far as the Iraqi's who voted with their feet were concerned, Saddam's Iraq was perceived as being a damn sight more of an undesirable place to be than the post-Saddam Iraq of today.
