Body Count


Saddam Hussein was hung because he was a cruel and ruthless leader. During his reign allegedly 100,000 Iraqis died while Saddam was dictator of the country.

To date, since the start of the Iraq War, civilian body count is between 86,664 - 94,561.

Why are we spending tens of billions of dollars a month in Iraq? For higher food and gas prices? For the stock market to decline by 20%. For house prices to decline by 25%? Is our policy of borrowing from China and spend it in Iraq working?

Approimately, 30 - 50% of Iraqi children have PTSD from living under war.

As American children head back to school, we need to remind them what the American government has done to those who weren't lucky enough to be born in the place that starts wars, but in a place that suffers from wars.
