Hi all Was wondering if anyone on either of these lists has, or knows where I could get, a list of the names of people killed in US and UK strikes on Iraq since the end of the Gulf War? I'd like, ideally, a list of names, ages, occupation, date of killing and location of killing. I think it would be a good idea to put something of this sort up onto a website as a small memorial. Has anyone done this already? I was also wondering if it was possible to make a list of people who have died through malnutrition and lack of medicines. I realise this would be a massive list, but a start could at least be made. Even if the list is not comprehensive, a few details about the dead helps people to realise that these statistics have real people behind them, and are more than just numbers. I imagine that a huge list of thousands of names could be a very powerful and moving testament to why sanctions should be lifted. If anyone thinks this idea of listing the dead is morbid, or in bad taste, I welcome comments.
