bullshit! that figure is complete nonsense.
i'm sure we could agree on 100,000?
how about the un iraq sanctions: 500,000 to 1,000,000? can we agree?
the last time this topic came up, the hysterical left were throwing about the figure 600,000 and it didn't take long to find information that put a more realistic estimate at 10% of that. And by 60,000 we mean "violent deaths", not all of which are directly attributable to US military personnel personally firing the trigger.
As for the UN sanctions, Saddam had a lot to do with those deaths.
