Iraq Deaths At Least 50,000, Likely More - USA is closing in on genocide
http://www.postchronicle.com/news/breakingnews/article_21224974.shtml

BAGHDAD, June 25, 2006 (UPI) -- A new estimate of Iraqi deaths since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion shows at least 50,000 on the books but the toll is thought to be higher, a report said.

Already that number is more than the 30,000 President Bush estimated last year, The Los Angeles Times reports.

The Times garnered data from the Iraqi Health Ministry and the Baghdad morgue to reach the 50,000 figure.

The number is considered low for many reasons, the newspaper said.

1. What's the magic number? When do you kill enough innocent people,
Edited on Sun Jun-25-06 09:56 AM by acmavm
cause enough destruction to earn your place in history along with the rest of the monsters? The Hitlers, Milosoviks (sp?), Stalins, etc?

I hope someone lets us know when we've crossed that fine line.

4. 50,000 deaths+They can't all be 'insurgents',
can they? Collateral damage? Innocent bystanders? Trading death for freedom? In Iraq's best interests?
