Estimates of the casualties from the conflict in Iraq (beginning with the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, and the ensuing occupation and insurgency) have come in many forms, and the accuracy of the information available on different types of Iraq War casualties varies greatly.
Estimates of Iraq War casualties range from 151,000 violent deaths as of June 2006 (per the Iraq Family Health Survey) to 461,000 total deaths as of June 2011 (per PLOS Medicine 2013), over 60% of them violent.[1] Other estimates, which are disputed in the scientific community, such as the 2006 Lancet study and the 2007 Opinion Research Business (ORB) survey put the numbers as high as 655,000 total deaths as of June 2006 (over 90% of them violent) and 1.2 million violent deaths as of August 2007 respectively. Body counts — which underestimate mortality — counted at least 110,600 violent deaths as of April 2009 (Associated Press). The Iraq Body Count project documents 183,249 – 205,785 violent civilian deaths through Feb. 2019.[1]

All that in retaliation for the death of less than 3000 Americans in 911. Yankeeland is a nation who lives on violence.

Yes war is hell , 6000 Frenchmen lost their lives at the Battle of Agincourt . I am not sure how many Arabs died but at least 500 Spartans died at Thermopylae.

Or maybe you could smarten up on the fact that not all brown people are Arabs. Nor even Muslims.

Newsflash, Skippy. Islam had not yet been dreamed up in 480 BCE.

Then again, neither had Christianity.

So next time you watch 300 , remember: the Greeks are not Christians, and the Persians are neither Arabs nor Muslims. And keep some tissues handy.

The Savior was foretold from the earliest times.

The Hebrews did/do not believe Christ was Him.
