There are many different civilian casualty counts, depending on who is conducting the research/study. According to Lancet (a British medial journal), the figure since the invasion is over 650,000. According to www.iraqbodycount.org, the figure is between 80,000-88,000. Another website, www.icasualties.org, the number is about 40,000 but they caution that the actual number is much higher than what is reported on their website. So as you can see, there is no definitive, official casualty count as embraced by the US government or any of the coalition government. Thanks for the question, alassane.
