Re: Mathematical improbability
NJ computes:
Coalition forces have been Iraq for a little over 3 years, starting on March 20, 2003. That's 1305 days, (as of Oct 16, 2006), to accumulate a staggering innocent civilian death toll of 600,000 bodies of men, women, and children. That's 2,175 bodies a day-- not including US or insurgent casualties. I'd like to know how any nation, especially a wartorn nation in such a decrepit condition as Iraq is, how they could possibly handle an influx of over 2,175 bodies a day.
Don't know what passes for division in your world but here is what my calculator says.
600,000 deaths / 1,305 days = 459.77 deaths per day.
