And this is from right-wing William F. Buckley: "We do not have accurate figures for the number of Iraqi civilians who have died in the course of the war. Estimates range from 25,000 to 100,000 or more — this in a population of a mere 26 million. Self-imposed deaths by insurgents are morally finite, like grief over suicides. However, there are many deaths by non-involved Iraqis in the regular collisions between insurgents and Americans. One day last month was typical: l Iraqi insurgent, 3 American soldiers, 40 Iraqis-on-the-scene."
