Anywhere from 30,000 t0 500,000 innocent Iraqis are DEAD since we invaded - that includes a lot of CHILDREN. The number of wounded and maimed - including children - not sure of those stats but they are probably appalling.
Two MILLION Iraqis have fled their own country, and those are the ones that can afford it - doctors, lawyers, other professionals, leaving such a fragile infrastructure that it is on the verge of collapse. Around 1 million more Iraqis are refugees in their own country, fleeing their homes but unable to leave the country because they have no means to do so.
Where are all the flags lowered at half-staff for all of our dead soldiers and all of the dead and displaced Iraqis?

Even little Sweden accepted 25,000 Iraqi refugees last year. I don't know how many this year. The response of the Bush administration is pitiful and shameful.
