The problem with health statistics is that we have not verifiable or 
trustable statistic about Iraq before and after the war. Anything after 
the 1991 is very uncertain.

When Saddam was in charge he had many reason to fake the statistics in a 
way or in another and when he was toppled, collecting statistics was 
very difficult, because the land was very dangerous.

Then, we could argue the fact that the Iraq war is/was a four-in-one 
war, where after the toppling of Saddam we have the sunni insurgents 
against the Shiite (Iran backed) militias against the MultiNational 
Force, the Iraq government forces against a very large criminal 
population (Saddam open the gate of the jails before the war started).

What damage was only caused by the MNF? What was caused by the 
Jihadists? What was caused by the criminals gangs?
