>I call BS on that because it doesn't account for the people Saddam killed before this war started.

You call BS, but you don't have facts to support it. The number you show were killed over 10-20 years. Still doesn't add up to 600,000 over 3 years.

>If you don't think that Saddam moved his biological and chemical weapons capacity out to a friendly nation during the period of non-action of the UN resolutions you are being conned.

There is no credible evidence to suggest that. If you believe that, you've been conned.

Look at the the map of Iraq's neighbours: http://www.theodora.com/maps/new8/middle_east.jpg
- Turkey: enemy
- Iran: enemy
- Kuwait: enemy
- Syria: enemy, supported Iran in Iran/Iraq war
- Jordan: west-friendly, not a friend of Iraq
- Saudi Arabia: west-friendly, not a friend of Iraq

None of these nations would help Iraq, in fact they would rat them out.

>Yes it's cost American soldier lives, Iraqi soldiers and some Iraqi civilians.

You call 600,000 lives, some?

> Most of what lives are being lost now are due to centuries old hatred between two religious groups plus outside influences causing trouble with the sole purpose of destabilizing the region.

Once again you are looking at the facts. From the study "However, after the invasion, violence was recorded as the primary cause of death and was mainly attributed to coalition forces—with about 95 percent of those deaths caused by bombs or fire from helicopter gunships"
