who's to blame for deaths in Iraq?

Bush is to blame. I'm sure when these people joined the military they did it with the assumption that they would not be sent into harms way unless it was NECESSARY to defend the country. This war was not necassary. (What weapons of mass destruction?) The blood of every dead or injured American soldier and every innocent Iraqi civilian is on his hands.

You do hear about it.  The reported death tolls are almost always higher for Iraqis than for U.S. or coalition personnel.  (But it's not "their own roadside bombs."  The people who set the bombs are not usually killed by them.  It's Iraqi civilians or police who are usually killed.)

The most scientifically accurate study of civilian deaths since the war started was done by the Lancet, a British medical journal in 2004.\n\nBased on the number of Iraqi fatalities recorded by the survey teams, the researchers calculated that the death rate since the invasion had increased from 5 percent annually to 7.9 percent. That works out to an excess of about 100,000 deaths since the war, the researchers reported in a paper released early by the Lancet.\n\nAt times it may have been worse under Saddam, but that was long before the invasion.  Saddam's worst killings were committed in the 1980s, including his gassing of Kurds at Halabja in 1988.  In Halabja 5,000 innocent civilians, 75% women and children were killed by Saddam's forces using chemical weapons.

They are not only responsible for it, they have created it.\nResponsibility is a mild term and may be attributed even to Saddam or others, but those who have created it are the main culprits.

Yeah....I guess 2 out of 3 isn't so bad...everyone gets lucky sometimes. Yada-Yada-Yada\n\n"Those people are now dead....killed by our troops in Iraq."\n\n....and how many of our troops have been killed to date, huh?\nHow many family members and friends have YOU lost for this, Oh-So Justworthy cause?\n\nGo back to sucking on Bush's big toe, you moron!\nAND WATCH SOME REAL NEWS FOR A CHANGE!

Gee....could it have been Saddam Hussein?  He did kill hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians and openly threaten both the United States and Israel.  How can you blame George Bush for starting the war?  I mean, can you blame the cop for arresting a murderer?  Nope, you blame the murderer!

The kidnappings and mass murders are being done by the insurgents. Only a relatively small percentage of Iraqis were killed by Americans. Almost all Iraqis were killed by foreign insurgents and by other Iraqis.\n\nThey kill each other there every day, and our troops get killed by getting between them.

Gees...another "blame it on Bush" answer.  Fact is the death toll on Katrina lies squarely on the shoulder of the state gov't of Louisiana and the city of New Orleans and it's residents.  It was their responsibility, not the federal government's, to ensure they were prepared for a natural disaster.  Those who could have left should have when they had the chance and let's not mention all the misappropriated funds by one of the most corrupt state and local governments in the history of the U.S.

My answers is a serious one:  All nationalities are responsible for their own country, so Iraqis are responsible for their own country.  I think it was a huge mistake starting this insane war, and whatever reason was given by the President of the US, was wrong and would have to be amended.  Way to amend? GET OUT OF IRAQ!

Of course they've screwed up. More people are dying there now than under Saddam.

Did Alex B GED just claim that the GOP "solved a genocide" in Iraq in his post? I think the phrase is "created a genocide". Iraq officials now claim 150,000 Iraqis have been killed by insurgents. Gosh, the Iraqis must be SO thankful we are there!

Saddam will be hanged for murdering 148 people but what about George W. Bush?The death toll of American soldiers in Iraq has reached almost 3000.For what purpose?To free a country that only a dictator could have controlled,look now,Saddam is off power and the people are slaughtering eachother because of ethnic believe.

This strikes me as a very misguided question.  Fewer people are killed today in Iraq than there were during Saddam's reign of terror.  His citizens no longer live in fear of him using chemical weapons against them and for the first time ever they were allowed to select a government.  Iraq is certainly not a safe place but calling the situation a mess is just not accurate.

kutekymme,, what is the previous record.  Do you mean the 30k+ civilians that Saddam GASSED to death?  Or do you mean the civilians that are housing the enemy soldiers who are shooting from the rooftops of their homes?\n\nAlso, What war has the lowest number of soldiers killed in it?\nI'll give you a hint, Iraq.

It's a Civil War and has been declared one by the Iraqi Defense Minister!\n\nActually the "Official" death toll for Iraqi's for those for the past 4 1/2 months is  10,538!  Iraq claims it is lower, though the actual figures show it to be higher. The insurgents, who are Iraqi's, are increasingly targeting women!\n\nI don't have a clue how anyone can claim it is anything other than a civil war as more innocent Iraqi's are dying in 1 day than Americans in 1 month! We claim it is a war! And if it isn't, just what the hell is it?\n\nhttp://uk.news.yahoo.com/hot/i/iraq.html
