438,000 Americans killed in War in 2006

America has 12 times the population of Iraq.
How would we feel if:
UN reported that Iraqi deaths averaged 100 per day in 2006.
100 X 365=36,500 X 12=438,000
Lancet Report on Iraqi deaths is now up to 655,000.
655,000 X 12= 7,860,000
Reports vary but many say 2,000,000 have fled their homes.
2,000,000 = 24,000,000.
438,000 killed in one year
7,860,000 killed in four years.
24,000,000 lost their homes.
Oh! How we mourned for 35 years the loss of 58,000 soldiers.
Oh! How we had world ending crisis in New Orleans with loss of homes.
Oh! What a crisis with loss of 2500 Americans from twin towers disaster.
