19. Billy, do you think the hundreds of thousands thing...
would send him off on a tangent...

Here's what I have so far:

1. You can read about the specifics on where/how these people died here: http://www.iraqbodycount.net/bodycount.htm

Saddam simply wasn't Hitler, however desperately you try to pretend otherwise.
