Dear Friends,
As of July 2006, a scientific study led by researchers at Johns
Hopkins found that 650,000 Iraqis had died as a result of the U.S.-led
invasion. Unfortunately, the death toll has continued to mount since
then.
Aside from your post being inappropriate for rec.pets.cats.anecdotes,
why on EARTH would Johns Hopkins fund a "scientific study" dealing with
civilian deaths in Iraq?????
It's election season and the DNC has herds of party hacks posting
bull**** to every newsgroup.

Effect on the Iraqi Population
As in war, it is civilians who are the prime victims of sanctions.
Salaries are as low as US$2 a month; there is around 50% unemployment.
People have had to sell their belongings in order to survive -- first
their cars, then household appliances, even their books and furniture.
Regular school attendance by children under 15 has fallen drastically
since 1990 for "school does not give us money in order to live". And in
the schools themselves, pupils often have to squat on the floor for want
of chairs and desks. Water pipes have not been repaired, and there are
huge pools of stagnating water in the school yard.

Remember this was 4 years before the U.S. Invasion when the DNC didn't
give a hoot about the lives of Iraqis.
