Up to 15,000 Iraqis were killed in the first days of America's
invasion and occupation of Iraq, a study shows. Up to 4300 were civilians.

...Overall in Iraq, the ratio of civilian to military deaths is almost
twice as high as in the 1991 Gulf War.

... The findings defy the reasoning that precision-guided weapons spare
civilian lives.
