And we also shouldn't forget this - taken from an AP article (highlight mine) -

------------------------------
Medact, an organization of health professionals, is out today with a thorough study of the affect of the American invasion of Iraq on the Iraqi people, including not just direct deaths and injuries but also the health and environmental affects of the invasion. Their conclusion:

"The war on Iraq and its aftermath exacted a heavy toll on combatants and civilians, who paid and continue to pay the price in death, injury and mental and physical ill health. Between 21,700 and 55,000 people died between March 20 and October 20, 2003 (the date on which this report went to press), while the health and environmental consequences of the conflict will be felt for many years to come."

The complete report is available.
