The Costs of War project estimates that several times as many may have died from knock-on effects. More than 9 million Iraqis were displaced. Hundreds of thousands of civilians died in the violence that followed. Trillions of dollars that could have been spent on improving lives were instead squandered destroying them. Much of the Pentagon spending went to just five huge corporations. The toll has been felt most of all, of course, within Iraq itself. Thousands of coalition personnel, mostly American, were killed.

"While the IOC has made no final decisions yet, we strongly urge it to reconsider its plans and return to the original well-proven stance supported by the international community," the Polish statement said.

WARSAW, March 27 (Reuters) - Russian and Belarusian athletes should be banned from the 2024 Olympics in Paris unless Moscow pulls its forces out of Ukraine, according to Poland, Britain and the Baltic states, despite the IOC saying it plans to let them compete as neutrals.
