Well it didnt change my mind, I could just as easliy shown you a video of saddam's torture, suicide bombings that he paid for, and on and on.....yet the United States DID try and minimize causulties on the civilian side.
War is hell and is NEVER pretty and cosmetic.....but it is sometimes nessesary.
Study: 100,000 Iraqis died in war, aftermath
Science journal say coalition caused majority of violent deathsThe Associated Press
Updated: 11:48 a.m. ET Oct. 28, 2004
LONDON - A survey of deaths in Iraqi households estimates that as many as 100,000 more people may have died throughout the country in the 18 months after the U.S. invasion than would be expected based on the death rate before the war.
There is no official figure for the number of Iraqis killed since the conflict began, but some non-governmental estimates range from 10,000 to 30,000. As of Wednesday, 1,081 U.S. servicemen had been killed, according to the U.S. Defense Department.
The researchers of The Lancet report concede that the data they based their projections on were of �limited precision,� because the quality of the information depends on the accuracy of the household interviews used for the study. The interviewers were Iraqi, most of them doctors.
The study, conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University and the Al-Mustansiriya University in Baghdad, is being published Thursday on the Web site of The Lancet medical journal.
The survey indicated violence accounted for most of the extra deaths seen since the invasion, and air strikes from coalition forces caused most of the violent deaths, the researchers wrote in the British-based journal.
�Most individuals reportedly killed by coalition forces were women and children,� they said.
