However WW2, started by Europeans, accounted for many tens of millions of deaths. Attributing casualties there to the same "column" as those in iraq is dishonest.
But comparing Iraq to WW2 death requires a logarithmic scale. There were single battles that killed more people than this entire war to this point in time. Shooting battles, not bombings.
Trying to compare things that do not relate here is bad. It detracts from the simple point.
US actions in Iraq are not and have not served US interests. They caused death and destruction with NO return for Iraqis or Americans.
