Afghanistan Death Toll 9,448 *
The war in Afghanistan was the first front on the "War on Terror" declared by the u$ imperialists following the destruction of the World Trade Center and attack on the Pentagon on 9/11/2001. Though 9/11 provided the public opinion to launch the invasion, the war was planned long before due to the Taliban's unwillingness to cooperate with u$ business interests. Pakistani officials reported knowing about the war in July 2001. Years earlier Unocal had petitioned the u$ government to oust the Taliban after their plans to run natural gas pipelines to Caspian Sea through Afghanistan had been broken by the Taliban and unstable conditions in the region.
The war in Afghanistan is typical of U$ invasions, which are justified by the need to crush a dangerous enemy, but in the end result in more civilian deaths than combatant deaths, serving to repress and pacify the whole population.
The Economist reports that Afghan aid groups are estimating 6000 dead in fighting in Afghanistan from the beginning of 2006 to mid-2007. They estimate 1500 of those to be civilians. Civilian estimates tend to be hugely underestimated by the occupiers according to Afghani sources.
