Gee, could this be why they hate us?

SignOnSanDiego.com > In Iraq -- 100,000 excess Iraqi deaths since war , study says

Keep your eye out for this story. I saw it at Reuters and it only consited of two paragraphs. So I did a Google News search and only found the same thing in another location. The point is, the press apparently doesn't think it's significant that woman and children are dying in Iraq in great numbers as a result of our invasion. This is the way it has been with modern wars. The warriors get all the coverage - but there are a ton of civilian detahs - mostly women and children - that go ignored. They are not ignored, of course, by families and friends - and thus is born hate and more violence.

Anyway, here's the Reuters story in its entirety - both paragraphs. ;-(

LONDON – Deaths of Iraqis have soared by 100,000 since the start of the Iraq war and many of the victims have been women and children, public health experts from the United States said on Thursday.

"Making conservative assumptions, we think that about 100,000 excess deaths, or more have happened since the 2003 invasion of Iraq," researchers from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland said in a report published online by The Lancet medical journal.
