Horror

LONDON (Reuters) - More than one million Iraqis have died as a result of the conflict in their country since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, according to research conducted by one of Britain's leading polling groups.

The survey, conducted by Opinion Research Business (ORB) with 2,414 adults in face-to-face interviews, found that 20 percent of people had had at least one death in their household as a result of the conflict, rather than natural causes.
To give this some context. Iraq has an estimated 27 million in population. If the United States (at roughly 300 million) had a similar death toll, it would be just over 11 million Americans.. dead.
