No one really knows for sure, but the most conservative estimates are well over 100,000 Iraqis. When you total ALL lives lost in Iraq due to the War, estimates are close to a million.
But, and this is the big but, this was all known to the architects of the war before they went into Iraq twice! They thought they could bomb from 20,000 feet and it all be over with little collateral damage, or as they would have you believe.
The truth is evident from the first Gulf War back in 1990 when a coalition was to liberate Kuwait. The so called 'collateral damage' was HUGE. So many reports of laser guided missiles going astray and killing dozens, many reports of which emerged much later once the war was over. The Americans were firing at will, tomahawk cruise missiles and bombs from above. Only the most gullible would believe that these weapons would get the target every time.
During the invasion, 'shock and awe', imagine the plight of the people of Baghdad. Many of these unexploded bomblets have remained in Baghdad. Whilst the pitures of the bombing runs in action looked 'awesome' as some kind of movie, real people were underneath, children, women. Many of them lost their lives.
No street in the world wants an army racing through its territory, and Iraqi streets were no different. The might of the coalition army was huge, hence out of fear many people stayed away.
Look at Fallujah. Americans could not take it, yet they went in with a huge array of WMD just to take the town. Many civilians would have been caught up in it.
Bottom line - the Iraq war killed far more greater number of people than Saddam ever did in his 35 year rule.

I don't know for sure. What I know is whoever commit this, including the supporters know nothing about themselves. To them, hell is illusion.

Friend according to me it is really a uncountable. It is very difficult to imagine how many women, men and children killed. But television operaters shows some kind of numbers. But no body can't imagine how many are killed exactly.
