It takes approximately 2 1/2-hours to read the names of the “2,801 souls lost at the World Trade Center” on September 11, 2001. That comes out to approximately 3.2 seconds for the reading of a single name.
If we assume that it will take the same amount of time to read the name of anyone in the world, irrelevant of their country of origin, then it will take approximately 929 hours to read the names of the one million Iraqis who have died due to the US invasion, up to this point.
The White House has now officially acknowledged that the United States will be occupying Iraq for at least a decade. According to my estimates (see Iraq and American Death Count to 2017) there will be over 8 million Iraqis dead by that time. This means that it will take approximately 7,140 hours to read their names. That’s equivalent to reading the names of the dead 24 hours a day for 298 days.
These numbers do not included the hundreds of thousands that are expected to die over the next few years due to Depleted Uranium poisoning.
