The non-profit group Just Foreign Policy says the number of Iraqis
killed since the start of the U.S. invasion will soon top one million.
The group's estimate is a rough update of a scientific study conducted
by researchers at Johns Hopkins University last year, which concluded
that 601,000 violent Iraqi deaths were attributable to the invasion as
of July 2006.

Hey, that is so many FEWER hearts and minds you have to worry about
winning over and with the ever rising cost per heart, it saves the US
taxpayer a huge bundle of money.

Sometimes you have to kill all the people in order to liberate them. In
Vietnam they destroyed countless villages and their occupants in order
to liberate them. We all now know what a great success that episode was.

Assuming that the " non-profit group Just Foreign Policy" actually
exists, are we to believe that non-profit attached to the name somehow
makes their statements true? My contacts within the Democratic party
(who wish to remain anonymous for obvious reasons) indicate that the
civilian death toll attributable to US military action is less than
2500.
