People die of other causes in Iraq, too. These numbers are on TOP of that. There were no suicide bombers in Iraq before the war. At this rate the number of people blown up could eventually exceed those Sadaam's henchmen killed.

I won't even pretend to say that Iraq isn't better off without Sadaam, but at the price? If we were going to sacrifice hundreds of billions of $ and thousands of lives we could have used them up more effectively.
