Only 150,000 dead. Phew. That must be a relief for eveyone, especially all those we killed. Or should that be especially for all those we didn’t kill. Get real. War crimes are war crimes. Bring Howard, Bush and Blair to justice. And Rudd too.

excess versus violent. Talk about tragedy. Heartbreaking really. Very depressing. This item should be marked, not suitable for politiking.

151000 human beings murdered illegally. What if they were Australian not Iraqui?, Fundamentally we are all the same. We should be totally outraged!

Thank God Christian has bought the revised toll to our attention. I feel much better now knowing “only” 150,000 died. Gotta go, my latte is getting cold.

Were these two equivalent? I understand the Hopkins study looked at total excess deaths, that is the number of people who died minus the number who died in a similar period under Saddam Hussein. This one has been reported as violent deaths only.
