It's just the UN: what do they know?
From GU:
The UN reported on Tuesday that some 6,000 Iraqi civilians had been killed over the past two months, indicating that an average of 100 are killed daily. The UN added that Iraqi health officials believed a recent estimate of 50,000 civilians killed since the 2003 US-led invasion was an underestimate.
In population, the U.S. is roughly 10 times the size of Iraq. What would we call it in America if 1,000 citizens were killed every day for two months? What name do we have such a catastrophe, other than civil war?
