> the US are responsible for the death of 400-800k people in Iraq

That is an outright fabrication, based on an axe-grinding mischaracterization of this report: https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/files/cow/imce/papers/20...

Your spin is a falsehood because:

- the 400,000+ number includes Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan

- the report concedes that most deaths are caused by militants

- it covers years in which America was not even engaged in hostilities (e.g., after leaving OIF and before the Iraqi government asked the U.S. military back to counter Daesh)

how is the executive order in the news today not preventing economic competition exactly?
