We have a proud history of putting perfume on pigs when it suits our agenda. Stalin, The Shah, Marcos, the Saudis, Marcos, Pinochet, Saddam (during Iraq/Iran War), Osama (Afghanistan vs. the Russians), etc., etc., etc. ........................................

Doesn't sound like enough were confirmed dead to even come close to matching those guys, unless you believe khomeni's numbers
