It's funny you mention terrorism since that is the leading cause of death in Iraq today...not Iraqis rebelling...but outside terrorists from all different countries.
As for the "Shock and Awe", 800 guided missles in two days with military, power, and water as key points of attack. Not civilian! WW2 was a war of civilian death, Korea, Vietnam....we're in the age of smart bombs...could have been alot worse for the civilians 20 years ago.
Maybe if good ol' Sadamm didn't put civilians around crucial areas there wouldn't have been the death toll.
