Ukraine's fledgling government (click here) ordered troops to withdraw from Crimea on Monday, ending days of wavering as Russian troops consolidate control over the peninsula.
Russian forces have been systematically seizing Ukrainian ships and military installations in Crimea, including a naval base near the eastern Crimean port of Feodosia, where two wounded servicemen were taken captive on Monday and as many as 80 were detained on-site, Ukrainian officials said....

Gee, what a shame President Obama decided to respect the Geneva Conventions and the potential a war in the Ukraine would start anew war in Europe. Why would he do that? He must be naive, huh?

So there is no confusion, those are the documented deaths of innocent civilians. Those burnt to death and indiscernible in identity as well as those blown apart and SIMPLY missing comes to what has been estimated to be over 600,000. I don't recall a NEW census in Iraq post USA occupation. Before the invasion the population was about 25 million including women, children and the elderly. I am quite confident the next time an Iraqi Census is performed the exact amount of dead due to American occupation for the years 2003 through 2011 will be known. The pre and post war census simply has to eliminate the births after the USA exited the country to determine the numbers of dead during the occupation. There will be some natural deaths, but, they will be minor compared to the deaths due to war.

And let's not forget the Ukraine government has not REQUESTED military occupation and help. NATO is bolstering it's presence in the area for the EXACT REASON the Geneva Conventions exist.
