Re: …they are killing anyone
yes you can catty. Before the invasion there were no bombs going off in Iraq. Public (in general was safe), only Saddam’s enemies were killed. Social/financial infrastrutcure was in ruins thanks to shackling embargos and sanctions. Every death in Iraq be it by US soldiers or otherwise is and should be attributed to US presence. There is no other way to look at it. Also, ask your journalist friend, how many people died after the first gulf war and how many of those remaining Iraqis are happy that US is back to save them again.
