And just to put things in perspective, we killed ~10,000 Iraqi civilians in the first month of bombings last year as we "shocked and awed" them to death. Thats actually a conservative figure; some place it to 25,000. Additionally, 5000 Iraqis have died since we took Baghdad, due to our inability to provide security in the country (a requirement of the Geneva Convention). So, in the 15 months we've been in Iraq, 15,000+ Iraqi civilians have died. Thats 33 per month, right in line with Saddam's purported numbers.

The more things change, the more they stay the same, it appears.
