1.033 million people.
you wonder why they stopped counting.
I take you have googled this and found the ORB straw poll, which gives the highest of the nbumber: reliable stats for Iraqi deaths are few and far between - they probably beat hens teeth in rarity - of course every death from violence is to be regretted if not condemned but the majority of the violent deaths are not due to action of the coalition forces but in many cases attributable to Muslim on Muslim killings in the power struggle that followed the down fall of Saddam Insane, and collapse in to lawlessness.
BTW while Saddam was a truly evil man with, for example, his use of chemical weapons on the Kurds, I did not support the second Gulf war and view Bush and Blair as war criminals for launching that war.
