The number of deaths in Iraq caused by the Iraq war has intense by an controversy, as politics,and a clamor for public awareness has intersected in a heat of debate of conflicting interests. The latest and perhaps the most accurate survey, which was released Tuesday, puts the figure at close to 500,000. Furthermore, a collaboration of researchers in the U.S., said "Canada and Iraq appearing in the journal PLoS Medicine — included a survey of 2,000 Iraqi households in 100 geographic regions in Iraq. Researchers used two surveys, one involving the household and another asking residents about their siblings, in an attempt to demonstrate the accuracy of the data they were collecting." After collecting this data from the surveys, the researchers concluded about 405,000 deaths, also another 55,800 projected deaths from an extensive migration in and emigration from Iraq occurring from an result of war. They estimated that 60% of the deaths were violent, with the other 40% occurring of health-infrastructure issues that arose of an result of the invasion. The point the researchers emphasized in discussing their research is "since the figure is higher than those found in previous studies."
My reaction to this article is its pretty amazing to see that these figures of studies is higher than those found in previous studies. And I must say that war must stop its claiming thousands of lives of innocent men, women, and children. They are being rip from there houses and being killed. It just doesn't make sense why they want to kill people that aren't involved with the war. They are just trying to escape the war so they can live a better life where they aren't in fear of dying.
Let's discuss this one in class
