I want to remember all the victims.
In the name of peace
They waged the wars
ain’t they got no shame *

Has anyone bothered to count the number of Iraqis who have been killed since our invasion? Nobody in Iraq was involved with 9/11 to begin with.
It's a matter of controversy, Bozo. A conservative independent estimate can be found at Iraq Body Count:

The Lancet published a survey done by Johns Hopkins which was much higher than IBC's. You can see discussion of it here:

PREACH IT, SISTAH WOMAN! It's good to hear the truth.
Violence truly begets violence.
