I'm not sure if any of these numbers are accurate but how do they compare
with Iraqi's killed under Saddam? Some figures that I found were:
Political Prisoners executed by Saddam in the year prior to the invasion: ~
1500
Killed in the 1988 Gas Attack: ~ 5000
If any of these numbers are accurate, it's a bit easier to understand why
the Iraqis, though glad to see Saddam go, aren't exactly happy with the US
as his replacement.
