Nonsense. Bush is not even in the top ten. Although you can debate
"unnecessary", let's call all the civilian deaths in Iraq as "unnecessary" and
say, pessimistically there were 100,000. The estimates range from 33,000 to
638,000.
Viet Nam had roughly 600,000 civilian deaths on both sides. Rwanda had
1,000,000 civilian deaths. There were 3,000,000 civilian deaths in China for
WWII, 2,500,000 for the USSR. Pol Pot killed off 1,500,000 in Cambodia.
Roosevelt was responsible for 300,000 civilian deaths in Japan. There were
200,000 civilian deaths in the Philippines rebellion 1898 to 1902 (McKinney and
the first Roosevelt).
