But there are also studies that suggest the figure is over a million. - Os
Are taking into account the bodies in mass graves killed by Saddam but found since the war started plus the many killed in suicide bombings. I do not like the war but the many people in Iraq who had relatives killed and tortured must appreciate our sacrifice. I would like any Dove to please explain why they always complain about the injustices of the world scream "think of the children" then all they want to do is talk about it to the butchers doing it sing Kum Bay Ah and then actually complain when someone does something that makes a difference.
