The thing about Iraq, is it's not our deaths that offend me. It the deaths of 100's of thousands of Iraqis, not terrorists or Militaristic Baathists, but documented civilian, police, and military deaths.
Of course a compassionate person would care about them.
| Survey | Iraqi deaths | March 2003 to... |
|---|---|---|
| Iraqi Health Ministry survey | 151,000 violent deaths out of 400,000 excess deaths due to the war. | June 2006 |
| Lancet survey | 601,027 violent deaths out of 654,965 excess deaths. | June 2006 |
| Opinion Research Business survey | 1,033,000 violent deaths as a result of the conflict. | August 2007 |
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
