Re: link to dead story
At Sheik Omar Clinic, a big book records 10,363 violent deaths in Baghdad and nearby towns since the war began last year — deaths caused by car bombs, clashes between Iraqis and coalition forces, mortar attacks, revenge killings and robberies.
No official, reliable figures exist for the whole country, but private estimates range from 10,000 to 30,000 killed since the United States invaded in March 2003.
Iraqi dead include not only insurgents, police and soldiers but also civilian men, women and children caught in crossfire, blown apart by explosives or shot by mistake
Saddam said hge was the only guy who could keep control in iraq.
America decided he was not the guy they wanted there, and in taking him out, they have opened up the floodgates. They are not dealing with the fallout from their decision to take Saddam out.
