The US tried hard to avoid civilian kills. But it's kinda hard to do that when a dictator uses his own people as human shields and has no regard for their well being.
Some have estimated that Saddam killed millions of people.
To some extent the Iraqi people have to share blame for Saddam, the war, etc.. Even if it is only a small amount, they need to take stock. Citizens are the ultimate sovereign. If they allow criminals like Saddam to control them, bad things happen. The Iraqi people should have overthrown Saddam by any means necessary.
