Invasion related death toll.


Iraq and the United States had many causalities as a result of the invasion. Over the many years following the invasion both soldiers and civilians that were part of the occupation died due to something could have ultimately been avoided. Numbers around 655 000 (MacKenzie, 2006) are the estimated number of people to have died since 2003. This signifies the impact and the amount of deaths caused as a result of the reaction, which ultimately could have been avoided. When Bush addressed a marginalized number of deaths this would have been unknown to the public so they would have been unaware of the devastation. The downplaying of the figure shows how deceitful Bush was during the occupation. Violence became worst as time went on during the invasion (Brown, 2006). More than half a million people are dead form invasion related deaths, the number is upsetting to know that the reason for invading was also invalid for some time. The number of deaths as a result of the invasion is a gargantuan repercussion for both countries involved.
