This disturbing NYT graphic allows you to count them up, all the deaths that billions of U.S. tax dollars can buy. It includes all of the deaths of those in uniforms caused by the conflict, not just the deaths of U.S. soldiers. It does not show the civilian deaths. “[S]adly, civilian fatalities in Iraq last year were simply too numerous to represent on a single newspaper page.”
