And do you think that an outside source (that probably hates the U.S. to begin with) would do an accurate count? By all accounts we invaded Iraq to liberate the country from Saddam. The majority wanted us to overthrow that government. Remember Saddam? The same guy who murdered countless people just to test his mustard gas. Claim what you want but the U.S. does have compassion for other nations (to a fault in my opinion) Afghanistan is a joke. We made the mistake of invading a place where it's fighting force (Taliban) hides in caves, places bombs in the ground all over the place (that anyone can walk on!) They put their own people at risk by trying to hide amongst the civilians. For every innocent person that was killed, there was a soldier who hesitated, and then got killed because there was a coward with an AK hiding behind women and children claiming to be innocent. People die in war. War is not a gentleman's game.
The crime is America has illegally invaded and then murdered hundreds of thousands of civilians and then covered it up and shamefully claimed pride in their actions, the IRAQ war was the only war of recent times were there were Protests before the Start of the war, and the protests have continued, Those who are keeping body counts are comprised of people who are allied with the States - they just want the truth to come out - so the average idiot American puts a stop to their murderous leaders. Iraqis were also blinded by propaganda, and it didn't take them long to work out the US were Terrorists, and NO I don't think they want the STATES there murdering their men, women & children all to secure some resources. Anyway, the fact you think the US is compassionate shows your deep ignorance, it is this fact, that the average American thinks they are compassionate, that makes them so EVIL! The worst EVIL always disguises itself in righteousness, all people want is the truth, but you will never hear it from an American, and those that know the truth are just shot down by the millions of brainwashed civilians. I know the truth will eventually come out, and those who supported the war will be seen as either despicable human beings or deeply brainwashed and just plain Ignorant!. THU USA are pathological and Psychotic murderers. The truth will always be the truth! And until America takes resonsibility for it's attrocities across the globe and stop pretending like they are the second coming of Christ, they will always be Hated by the rest of the world.
