But the leftists were only using the higher figure (naturally).

FYI. Not every person who is anti-war is leftist.

When did I claim all of them are?

I read report from the UN that said the casalities were around 78 thousand. Most of the people killed were murdered by bombers.

Right. most of the Iraqi civilians just fell down the stairs.

I agree with one of your basic tennets, we had no reason to be there in the first place. Trying to advance Iraq past the 13th century, and eliminating a ruler that slaughtered ~500,000 of his own people in order to seize/remain in power, and one who had waged war on neighboring countries for decades...not our problem. It was just as much of a waste and just as much "not our problem" as was Libya...yet I haven't seen you attacking that war of aggression...

No, you changed the topic.
The comment was that because of the US, that number of people were killed.
Period.

There have been over a million Iraqis killed and up to 5 million people in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

They learned a lesson from Nam.
Never give facts when talking about "collateral damage" and citizens of the nations we invade.

Statistics about war casualties should be gathered by America's Pro-Life people.

George Bush should be charged with 127,980 counts of murder.

[purehuman]

Bush should be prosecuted for war crimes...
