Iraq Death Toll:

United Nations UNICEF estimated that over 500,000 children (under age of 4) died during the embargoes. Note that in 2002, 12 non-governmental organizations study group said that the 12-year-old U.N. economic embargo against Iraq was flawed because it severely hurt the Iraqi people while sparing the country's leaders. The United States and the United Kingdom used their veto power to prolong the sanctions, bear special responsibility for perpetuating the sanctions against the wishes of the vast majority of the 15-member Security Council

A study conducted by the Fafo Institute for Applied Social Science, a Norwegian research group, found in November 2004 that acute malnutrition among Iraqi children between the ages of six months and five years has increased from 4 percent to 7.7 percent since the US-led invasion.

The UK Lancet (independent and authoritative voice in global medicine) in July 2006 reported that over 600,000 have been killed since the invasion. The UK Government publicly rejected the findings of Lancet until a FOI conducted by the BBC found that the Governments Chief Scientist actually agreed with the Lancet study!

In 2006 US Johns Hopkins University and the Al Mustansiriya University in Baghdad confirmed the UK Lancet figures by estimating that 655,000 more people have died in Iraq since coalition forces arrived in March 2003 than would have died if the invasion had not occurred.

The UK ORB completed the latest and most comprehensive poll in October 2007 (polled many more regions in Iraq), they estimate 1,220,580 deaths since the U.S. invasion in 2003.

Saddam was the factor which caused the deaths of Iraqi citizens. His responsibility for taking oil for food money and building palaces.

Saddam had a habit of stockpiling childrens bodies in cold storage...no matter what the cause of death. When the time was right, Saddam trotted out all the bodies...which by Islamic traditions should have been buried immediately...anyway he trotted them out in batches periodically for the gullible press...and the even more gullible UN to see and photograph.

Saddam was also bribing high UN officials to remove the sanctions against Iraq. Not only UN officials but government officials in Britain, France, Germany and Russia and some business people with government influence.
