7,000 civilians. Let's see, that's about 4 times as many brave servicemen who gave their lives for freedom. It's also a drop in the bucket compared to the estimated 300,000 Iraqis who were murdered by Sadaam's rein and found in other mass graves. Add in the estimated 1,000,000 people who lost their lives in the needless Iran-Iraq war, and it makes the 100,000 lost during Gulf War I seem like a walk in the park. Peace, indeed.
