How many Iraqui?
per News Center article published 7-05 they aren't counted
(but the armed forces sends reports of same).
the Bookings Institute says as of 7-13-05 there have been an estimated 22-25,869 civilian casaulities (feeling that is a low estimate,) with probably more than 100,000 police, soldiers & insurgents deaths.
Not to mention the destruction of buildings,land & jobs. The maming, orphaning of citizens.
