U.S. Admits Civilian Casualty Risk
'Thousands of Iraqi civilians will be killed if the United States wages war against Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, U.S. officials acknowledged for the first time yesterday.'

'A United Nations report leaked earlier this year suggested 500,000 Iraqi civilians could die in a U.S.-led attempt to topple Saddam. A study by the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War estimated that 100,000 Iraqi civilians might die.'

A lot depends on the reaction of the Iraqi civilians and military, especially in the Baghdad area. That is, will they cave in or dig in?
