Sure.. engage in a bombing spree on a city and of course there will be many civilians killed - that was a Pentagon choice.

Iraq is an elected "occupation" - the "war" ended a few years ago. For an occupation, 35,000 civilians killed is a total disaster and those who initiated the original elected "war" need fucking hung.

Sorry crockett, but value any human life, no matter which side and even more when innocent people are killed thru the idiocy of trash who should know better.

Yea but the point is, most of these deaths were caused by insurgents attacking civilians by guns, or explosives.

Take a look at http://www.iraqbodycount.org/database/ it's one of the more accurate non biased databases. You don't see too many that say killed by US soldiers. However you see a hell of a lot that were killed by the insurgents.

The point of this topic was trying to make it look as if the US military had killed 35k civilians last year which is very far from the truth.
