How many Iraqis have died in the war?

In: Iraq War [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

Like all wars it's impossible to get corrects statistics on how many Iraqis died in the war. Most casualties have been civilians (as are in most wars.)

There is no official figure for the number of Iraqis killed since the conflict began, though some estimates range from 10,000 to 30,000 compared with 1,081 US military deaths.

It always astounds me that the Government of a country fighting a war makes it look like the enemy is the higher body count (in all wars) when, in fact it's impossible to 'count bodies.'
