Thanks for the tip... IBC's database page should be easy enough to harvest data from... so I will start working on it. Testing the limits of google earth with ~30k placemarks will be interesting...

If anyone else has recommendations as to sources for Iraqi causualties, please let me know.

I know this is a touchy subject, and to many people, seeing a death count for either side illicits strong emotional and intellectual responses. I realize that all sources will have some bias, political or otherwise, and frequently war causualties website are attacking one side or the other.

I want to keep this as apolitical as possible, as for me this project is more about the deaths sons and daughters, friends, parents, lovers and siblings... rather than enemies or allies. Someone out there has cried and mourned over every one of these people lost.

Sorry if the Zen attitude is getting old, I just want that to be clear.
