SocraticGadfly: Has the U.S. killed more Iraqis than Saddam Hussein?

Has the U.S. killed more Iraqis than Saddam Hussein?

Sadly, the answer is yes, if you accept the controversial estimate of 600,000 Iraqi civilian deaths resulting from the U.S. invasion.

First, I do accept the estimates, and second, this does NOT count deaths from sectarian violence.

Fact of the matter is, American “smart bombs” just aren’t that smart. Nor is artillery fire.
