Well, from what I've read between the Pentagon and the human rights groups the range in Iraq along could be anywhere from the low tens of thousands to the high tens of thousands.
Even if you take a conservative approach, it's still probably 3X what al Qaeda has killed in major attacks.
All for a war Bin Laden said we would wage well before the fact was "decided" by the US Government...and that by most accounts was poorly justified and pathetically planned.
Again, the point is from an Islamic perspective, and even a moderate one at that...do we look like we respect human life?
This is important because just as some here use the lack of respect for human life as a motivator to go after terrorists, so do the terrorists use it against us to gain sympathy from the moderate Islamic community.
