Well, I think we've killed on the low end many tens of thousands to on the high end several hundred thousand innocent Iraqi's.
Any way you cut it it's a lot of death.
If I remember correctly, International law does provide for a "reasonable" number of civilian deaths as acceptable in times of war.
But considering the context...
The the ratio of civilians to hostiles isn't very productive.
That most of the world (including America) doesn't buy the justification.
That it's clear the war was planned and executed at the top in a most incompetent manner.
So given all of that, it's really not all that difficult for a Muslim in some far off country to think the local Imam might just be preaching the truth when he calls for Jihad against the West who's waging a crusade aginst Islam.
Please think
Bing! because in that time another few young men or women joined the dark side.
Get it?
