Re: ISIS Beheading and Crucifying Christians in Iraq
it is somewhat counter intuitive that the population would actually grow during a war, let alone grow faster than it did before the war started. I believe that must be faster growth than we were experiencing in the USA during that time.
Not sure. Using your data, it appears that in the 10 years prior, 1991 to 2001, the population grew from 18,561,000 to 23, 584,000. An increase of 27%. And from 2001 to 2011 the population grew from 23,584,000 to 32,540,000, and increase of 38%. 38% is 40% higher than 27%. Seems like a healthy improvement.
Thanks for verifying that part of my point. But my main point is that the media lied and talked about how millions fled Iraq during the war and Lancet published studies Oct, 2004 and Oct 2006 (Oddly timed to shortly before US elections and widely reported in the media) about 100,000 Iraqis killed and 600,000 Iraqis killed, respectively. Yet when the war was over a more official report is that 103,000 Iraqis were killed total and most of those in the civil war that allied forces were trying to limit.
How does a country's growth rate increase 40% over the previous war when a war is going on?
