>>>I doubt a million civilians have been killed. Have you some proof?<<<


What proof do YOU have to back up YOUR figures? And why are they more accurate than the ones you diss?


An Opinion Research Business (ORB) survey conducted August 12-19, 2007 estimated 1,220,580 violent deaths due to the Iraq War (range of 733,158 to 1,446,063).

The 2006 Lancet survey of casualties of the Iraq War estimated 654,965 Iraqi deaths (range of 392,979-942,636) from March 2003 to the end of June 2006.

>>>Who says it was an invasion? I suppose Saadam and his sons thought it was. The Iraqi people might have a different opinion.<<<


Everyone except you say it was an invasion. And if you had bothered to do about 30 seconds of research on the subject you would know that the Iraqi people might NOT have a different opinion.


"Iraqis of all sectarian and ethnic groups believe that the U.S. military invasion is the primary root of the violent differences among them, and see the departure of "occupying forces" as the key to national reconciliation, according to focus groups conducted for the U.S. military last month."
