According to the Iraq Body Count (http://www.iraqbodycount.org/), as of today, somewhere between 57000 and 63000 Iraqi civilians have died (See logo at the bottom of this blog). This does not count combatants, but it includes civilians affected directly by the fighting (bombs, etc.) as well as those killed because of the increase in rampant violence and lawlessness.
Read my sister's blog for links to humanitarian groups that are helping Iraqi civilians.

Again and again, Dubya said we went to war in Iraq because we were attacked on 9/11. Twenty times as many civilians have died during our "liberation" of the country as did on 9/11. It's really sad.
Yes. And once they stopped saying it was because of 9/11, and the mythical WMD never appeared, then it was suddenly about bringing freedom and democracy. Fine job we've done.
