You're being silly.
Which source are you referring to now regarding not being on the wiki page? Are we on the Iraq Iran war or just Iraq?

Are you saying these guys are lying?
Clearly your estimate of the Iran Iraq war is the main area of concern, at 1.4-5 Million Iraqi Deaths (well beyond anything wikipedia appears to report) it is a seriously dubious outlier proposed statistic.
If (which you don't appear to be) you are interested in the methodology and range of proposed casualty figures for our intervention in Iraq, why don't you bother to read either your
own source on the intervention (not the Iran Iraq War obviously) and/or how
it and other sources figure in the edit for data presented in the pages discussing the war!
I'm not disputing IBC's claim that currently in Iraq
Documented civilian deaths from violence 174,987 – 195,575
Their method shows fully confirmed civilian casualties (as laid out by the IBC site and referenced on the wikipedia page I originally used as a source).
If you bother to read the wikipedia details about
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War you will find that fully confirmed casualties (in a failed state's war zone) are un surprisingly lower than a number of statistical studies. In all probability the methodology and results presented by the Lancet are the most representative and feature heavily in the wiki pages discussion of the war, whilst being far lower than other analysis, they are not based on purely confirmed body counting methods and the problems that come with that in war zones.
As I have said before, in both cases (intervention and Iran Iraq war), wikipedia's out of work PHD smack down for controversial topics, is likely to be far more rigorous than a couple of individuals throwing together some magpie sources on a computer shop forum, if you feel you know more about how to collect representative data of casualties of war than the aggregate approach on wikipedia, bully for you.
Just to re assert, I and others who were prominently against unilateral intervention in Iraq are not claiming Saddam was some kind of benevolent dictator, though replacing Iran's Bombs with our own was/is unlikely to improve our relationship with the parents of the dead. I wont press the fact that technically the bombs were likely manufactured by the likes of Raytheon in both instances.
On a global scale, what could we have achieved during the period with that amount of time effort and economic clout?
