George Bush: 30,000 Iraqi deaths "more or less"
Notes on 20th Century War Casualties
President Bush sites press reports of 30,000 civilian deaths in Iraq. I'm sure that the U.S. military has its own number, but it would jeopardize national security if the number was released. (I'm not sure who would come in and kick us out of our homes if somebody let the number slip, but if they say national security is at stake, then I believe them.)

To put things in perspective though, as civil wars go, it's doubtful if Iraq's would make the top fifty. Linked below is a list of conflicts and casualty numbers.

The United States may be brutal, may be the "Great Satan", but the combined death-toll in the Iran-Iraq war was over a million, we still have two decimal places to go to hit that figure.
