1.2 Million Dead in Iraq since US Invasion

[downrange]

Apparently this company in March this year also found that Iraqis prefer their current arrangement to that of living under SH. Oh, and there's no civil war in Iraq.

"...the poll shows that despite the horrendous personal security problems only 26% of the country preferred life under the previous regime of Saddam Hussein, with almost half (49%) preferring life under the current political system."

So an incomprehensibly massive escalation in bloodshed doesn't bother the Iraqis? Or the average 1,000 DAILY Iraqi deaths never occurred? One strikes me as preposterous and one doesn't.

Refuted? You see polls with much lower numbers? I haven't seen any of those. What I have seen is complaints that poor poll methodology make them untrustworthy. That still leaves "What is the real answer?" sitting there. Do you want to know the answer?


A discussion of the results of all the different estimates



"How many Iraqis have died in this war" is not an unanswerable question.

So your answer is that it is between 60k and 1.2 mill?
excuse me if i don't take you seriously

the IBC figure (68k) is just documented, violent deaths of non-combatants by military targets. It differs from the other numbers because it's not an estimate, and it has a different definition of casualty.
