They culled the stats from various news sources. The counter is at the top left of the page. They estimate between 6096 to 7807 Iraqi civilians died in the invasion. I'm sure their families understand, though.
Just because you don't see it on ABC, FOX, or CNN doesn't mean it's not happening.

It is like they were so eager to show their overwhelming power that they dismissed the possibility that they already showed enough power to get the job done. In fact, with the right policy, it would have all turned out the same with surrender and everything; even without the atom bomb.
The generalization of the japanese as the bad guys because of the actions of a few. Sounds like genecide to me. Lots of innocent people died those 2 days. They never raped and pillaged anything.
'Alarm! Alarm! Someone is being hit by propaganda' :p Just don't be silly and check by *yourself* if that is propaganda or not. Methods for the bodycount and all.

i dont think that that website is a crediable website. its probally just another antiwar site run by a bunch of tokin hippies
As Nelson Mandela said of Americans in a speech on Jan. 31, "Because they decided to kill innocent people in Japan, who are still suffering from that, who are they now to pretend that they are the policeman of the world

WMD should never be used for any reason in my belief, especially to the extent that we used them, killing so many innocent civilians..and Japan was about to negotiate their surrender anyway, we just had to make a statement about how great we were and to prove a point to russia.
