re: winning the hearts and minds "According to the highly respected British medical journal Lancet, some 100,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed in the fighting since the American invasion of Iraq began in March 2003. More than 80 per cent of the Iraqis killed were innocent civilians, including women and children. Compared to the huge number of Iraqi casualties, the number of US casualties (1,300 dead to date) is very low.

The US military, for its part, says it does not keep count of Iraqi casualties, only of American casualties - an attitude so callous as to almost defy belief."
