That's funny Sept 11 happened when we were far more isolationist than
we
are
likely ever to be in the future. It has taken 5 years of fighting in
Iraq to achieve a similar body count as happened in a couple of hours
on one Tuesday morning.

Point of fact, the body count in Iraq is 600,000+ and rising.

A fact based accounting puts the number between 50,000 & 100,000.

A what?

We're talking about a study by the John Hopkins School of Epidemeology
published in a peer reviewed journal.

Produce a similar academic study subjected to peer review that uses 'fact
based accounting' please.

The Iraqi Health Ministry estimates 50,000 deaths in Iraq since March 20003
and the Brookings Institution estimates 60,000. Iraq Body Count estimates
44-49,000 reported deaths. The UN estimate of 19,000 deaths this year means
it would take approximately 20 years to reach the the John Hopkins numbers
at the current rate. In other words, multiple reputable sources find the
Hopkins numbers to be innacurate.
