Iraq In Focus

Map of IraqThe regime change the U.S. government forced upon Iraq through invasion and occupation and the Bush administration's dismissal of diplomacy and deterrence prior to waging war against that country constitute a radical change in U.S. security policy. President George W. Bush's "preemptive war" strategy sidelined the multilateral framework of collective security established after World War II. Foreign Policy In Focus is emphasizing our experts' criticism of the Iraq war as part of its mission to encourage the U.S. to serve as a responsible global leader and partner.

Iraqi Civilian War Casualties
http://civilians.info/iraq/

Visit Occupation Watch for news coverage of the occupation as well as information regarding delegations to Iraq.

The U.S. military is failing to conduct proper investigations into civilian deaths resulting from the excessive or indiscriminate use of force in Baghdad, Human Rights Watch charges in its new report.

Taking Stock of 100,000 Iraqi Deaths by Amy Quinn
The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health house-to-house study fills a void left by George W. Bush’s administration, which has refused to track and publicize Iraqi civilian deaths. The report finds that air strikes accounted for most civilian deaths and the majority of these were women and children. If the U.S. government can stick to the claim that it’s capable of registering all Iraqi citizens for the January elections, then surely it’s also capable of determining how many Iraqis have been killed in this war.
