Well i can't seem to find a count on # of Iraqi fighters and insurgents that have been killed. The civilian casualties are listed anywhere from 24,000 - 100,000. + Nearly 2000 coalition troops, + contractor deaths (200+), + the spain train bombing (which was caused because of the iraq war). So lets consider 24k-100k dead civilians, now try to imagine how many of our bullets/bombs/missles/etc ACTUALLY HIT THEIR TARGETS, and you can try to calculate the insurgent/iraqi fighter deaths. Lets say the US killed 2 "bad guys" for every civilian, that makes for ~50k - 200k "enemy" deaths.
When i say "people" i dont just mean civilians. I don't just mean coalition troops, and i dont just mean US troops. Unless you don't consider Iraqi fighters or "insurgents" people.
Edit: Keep in mind that these numbers are pretty old ones, and have most likely grown since. The numbers have not stopped rising and will only continue to mount up. How many more will satisfy?
