50,000 And Rising

At least 50,000 Iraqis have died violently since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion … a toll 20,000 higher than previously acknowledged by the Bush administration … Proportionately, it is equivalent to 570,000 Americans being killed nationwide in the last three years.

Using this scaling that makes the equivalent of roughly 3,500 killed each week, week after week, since 2003. That’s a vaguely comparable death toll to the jetliner attacks of September 11th, 2001, on the United States. Except for the Iraqis it’s now a weekly occurrence.
