Casualties - Iraq vs. Vietnam

Antiwar.com has found that at least 51,738 people were killed across Iraq during 2015, while at least 19,651 were wounded. The number of fatalities reported was slightly higher than in 2014, but the number of wounded was substantially lower. These figures should be taken as very rough estimates and probably low estimates at that.

This is almost as many deaths as the US sustained during the entire Vietnam War:

The total number of Iraqi deaths is well over 500,000 and climbing:

And since 1990, Western-led wars have killed 4 million human beings:

We have destroyed the former sovereign nations of Iraq, Libya, and Syria.

Can anyone tell me why? It wasn't just for the oil.

And they posed absolutely no threat to We The People.
