The disconnect by Americans re violence in Syria is sickening.

41. The US

has no moral high ground to claim. The below info is for Iraq alone and does not include Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen....on and on.

I don't know that I can support your statement that Assad is 70x as blood thirsty as the US.

Iraq Body Count project (IBC) is a web-based effort to record civilian deaths resulting from the US-led 2003 invasion of Iraq. Included are deaths attributable to coalition and insurgent military action, sectarian violence and criminal violence, which refers to excess civilian deaths caused by criminal action resulting from the breakdown in law and order which followed the coalition invasion. As of December 2012, the IBC has recorded 110,937-121,227 civilian deaths. The IBC has a media-centered approach to counting and documenting the deaths. Other sources have provided differing estimates of deaths, some much higher. See Casualties of the Iraq War.
