War Or Terror: What's Worse?
SAMIRAN CHAKRAWERTTI

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2004 - When the US death toll in Iraq crossed 1,000
last week, the number seemed like a shocker. However, that figure pales in
comparison with the 30,000 Afghans and Iraqis estimated to have died in the
War on Terror.

While there isn't anyone keeping official count - Iraq Body Count, an
independent website that keeps track of only media-reported civilian deaths,
states that a minimum 11,798 Iraqi civilians have died in the war so far.
Independent estimates of Iraqi military deaths puts their toll close to
5,000.

Afghanistan was an even more skewed story. The number of US military deaths
in Afghanistan was 132. Once again, though there wasn't anyone keeping
official track of the Afghan death toll, a study by an American academic
estimated that at least 3,800 civilians died in Afghanistan and independent
estimates suggest that military deaths could be close to 10,000.

The total figure of 30,000 is more than the number of people killed in
terrorist acts in the last 35 years - studies show 22,000 people have been
killed in terrorist incidents since 1968.

The cost of reconstruction and related aid has been estimated at $23 billion
in Iraq and $30 billion in Afghanistan which seems much smaller than the
$100 billion loss caused by the WTC attacks. But while the WTC losses
translate to 0.91% of US GDP, it amounts to 59% of Iraq's GDP and 150% of
Afghanistan's GDP in 2003.
