Barefoot in the wilderness
in search of understanding

Graveyard in Parliament Square

Marking the fourth anniversary of the invasion, Christians planted 186 crosses, each bearing the name of an Iraqi killed by US or UK forces.
Each cross represented a thousand people killed since the invasion, said campaigners…
According to a survey published in the Lancet last October, at least 186,000 Iraqis have been killed by coalition forces in Iraq since the beginning of the 2003 invasion – 31% of all violent deaths in Iraq up to June 2006.
A BBC/ICM survey of more than 1,000 people, released yesterday (Tuesday) suggested that the Iraq war now has support from less than a third of the UK population.
