Saddam's 'Killing Field'

FOXNews.com - U.S. & World - Reporter's Notebook: Saddam's 'Killing Field'

The article estimates deaths under Saddam's regime at around 300,000 people. So, I pulled up the stats on Iraq for comparison. 300,000 makes up just over 1% of Iraq's total population. That's a LOT of people! Another interesting (though perhaps coincidental) figure is that in the last election (17 October 1995) in Iraq, Saddam Hussein recieved 99% of the vote. You may ask yourself... what happened to that 1% who voted against Saddam? Well... see above.
