 how many Iraqis do you think were killed in the Gulf War?

 about 200,000, according to U.N., Pentagon, and other sources.
        Michael Parenti, [book] "Democracy for the Few" (1995)
        Pages 96-97.

 about 1/3 of the deaths were of women and children.
        "When a Census Bureau demographer reported that President
        Bush's war against Iraq had resulted in 158,000 Iraqi
        deaths, including 71,807 women and children, she was
        informed she would be fired."
                Michael Parenti, [book] "Democracy for the Few"
                (1995) Page 274.  (more sources cited in the book)

        "President Clinton continues to foster the myth of the
        `clean war' although his adviser, former President Jimmy
        Carter, has suggested that more than 150,000 Iraqi
        civilians were killed in the bombings."
                San Francisco Chronicle, Sunday, August 20, 1995.

 when i found this out, i was surprised how large this number
 was.  i was duped by the CNN's propaganda of "precise,
 smart-bombs" which were supposed to pin-point military targets
 without causing human damages.
