Does anyone care about the Iraqi Death Toll?

I'm referring to casualties (the non-"bad guys") who died simply because their nation was at war. If over 90,000 Americans were slaughtered as a result of Bush's war, there would be outrage. Does it make the heinousness of war more obvious?

    Most of us outside of Iraq who do care are helpless to do anything about it, so after a time we just get terribly annoyed

    at those who have perpetrated it.

    After a time we just look in amazement at the inability of those in power to see what is happening and we grieve for a world that we once knew that seems to be passing away before our eyes.

    Which is why many, who had no particular grievance against America said, after 9/11 , 'they have had it coming for years'.

    And, I am afraid many would say that again today.

    they'd not be killing one yet another if George W Bush had no longer made the alternative to invade. it is not significant who's pulling the set off or putting off the bomb. Neither could be occurring if Bush hadn't spark off a chain of activities in action that brought about anarchy. the USA is morally to blame for arising a subject that the Iraqi's are caught in. Why do no longer you care approximately that?

    Have you never read a history book in your life? If you want to discuss heinousness, world war II is good reading. Some of the crusades were a little nasty. The American Civil war was nothing to shake a stick at. How many years do you want to go back? There will be more wars. Generally speaking the Americans have more often been right than wrong.

    Lots of people in this world cares about the deaths occurring in Iraq and it does appears to be evident of war in our future.

    Iraqi death toll: At least over a million dead because of foreign imperialists.

    The price of freedom is high in all categories...The price of Iraqi Oil is Young American Lives......Patriotism works to make fools die young don't you think? No, American soldiers are NOT fools but that they are fooled about their purpose.....Whoever would do that to them must be the Anti-Christ...

    I care very much and I wish God would intervene....

    Americans don't. Iraqi "collateral damage (ESPECIALLY if it's someone ELSE's)" is ALL a part of the Cost of War... :(

    Your right, 90.000 dead is so much less then the number that were murdered under Saddam, we should just leave and let the terrorists kill all those who opposed them.
