I, on the Other Hand, Have been Proved Right

Just before the war, I wrote that fewer Iraqis would die during this war than routinely die in an average year at the hand of Saddam regime of terror. Well, somebody has finally done the math and I was proven correct. H. D. Miller uses the most reliably exaggerated Iraqi body count from the leftist iraqbodycount.net and gets a figure of 2,325 civilian deaths. Meanwhile, John Burns of the New York Times credits Saddam with the deaths of a million Iraqis during his tenure as despot for life. This works out to 3600 per month. So, it was actually safer to be a civilian in Iraq during the war than it was during the peace.
