Iraq's civilian dead get no hearing in the United States.

Of course, in US both the media and the public have usually been unable to to report and to understand big numbers when it comes to casualties. The US indifference towards Iraqi civilian casualties is nothing new. And even if the US media would be full of the casualty statistics, I don´t think they would have much impact. In the US, death needs individual faces to be understood and acknowledged. 100 00 dead civilians are just six numbers in line to them.
