Something to Consider

This past weekend, I was thinking about this very thing.  The number of people who lost their lives on 9/11/2001 was just under 3000.  It's very sad and I don't mean to minimize this senseless loss of life.  Since then, in the name of revenge (and other agendas), the number of fatalities is nearing the million mark and still climbing!

At least 919,967 people have
been killed in Afghanistan and Iraq
since the U.S. and coalition attacks, based on lowest credible estimates.

Sources and methodology are explained in the sidebar. Some questions about lower or higher casualty counts cited elsewhere are addressed in these footnotes.   This page is updated about once monthly. Most recent update: Aug. 10, 2010.
