Any unneeded deaths I find distasteful, but these numbers put them close to Saddam's death toll of 500,000 to a million. Wasn't one of the supposed reasons for going into Iraq to protect these citizens that are getting slaughtered. I admit the Kurds and anybody opposing Saddam faced a bleak future, but the country did have some law and order. To most average Iraqi things made sense, now everyone is filled with fear and terror and the Americans don't seem to have any plan or desire to settle things or leave. I guess war is good for America.
