The study is way beyond flawed. It uses an extremely small sample size, didn't even touch three provinces(which just happened to be three of the most peaceful provinces), didn't distinguish between civilians and militants, and even included deaths to domestic violence. Which, as we know from Muslim culture, is a very frequent thing under the best of circumstances. Women get killed on a daily basis in the Muslim world by their relatives. Even in Europe.

I believe it is talking of people dying since invasion. Dead is dead. People are using it to feather their own bed and others are denying it for the same reason.

Well, 4 million Americans have died since 2003. Context is kinda important when discussing these things.

I believe they are talking about people dead since the war started, whether natural or imposed. But I see where you are coming from there are many who will use the report/study in the same ways the NEC has been used.

The previous study has said that about 100,00 had died and if this study would have said 75,000 died, you people would be all for stats then right?
Or is it that you can believe that anything the US does could cause that many deaths? |

To believe or not--it is your decision. The study was done by John Hopkins Univ and published in UK's medical journal Lancet, both are pretty reputable institutions.

THe first Lancet study wasn't peer reviewed. It was expedited to influence the election. Same with this one.
