	Off Target: The Conduct of the War and Civilian Casualties in Iraq: IV. EXPLOSIVE REMNANTS OF WAR
		While submunitions have caused civilian casualties in past conflicts, the large quantities used, heavy targeting of urban areas, and deployment of ground as well as air models magnified their impact in Iraq.
		Ambulances could not enter one neighborhood to evacuate wounded civilians because their drivers feared running over a dud in the dark; the next morning hundreds of injured civilians were taken to the hospital.
		The large number of duds and their serious and long-term impact on civilian life and livelihoods also suggest that at least some models of submunitions, when used in or near populated areas, are indiscriminate in effect.

	STATISTICS OF VIETNAMESE GENOCIDE AND MASS MURDER
		Thus I first present estimates of "executions" (lines 282 to 288); then those executed and otherwise "killed" (lines 292 to 298); and then those who also otherwise died (i.e., "dead"--lines 302 to 308), such as those tagged as wealthy peasants who were deprived of their land, officially ostracized and thus denied food and shelter.
		Throughout the guerrilla period and during the war they shelled and attacked civilians in strategic hamlets and refugee camps, attacked refugees fleeing on the roads in order to create chaos, shelled civilians in most government controlled cities and towns, and purposely mined and booby-trapped civilian areas (as of mining roads traveled by civilian buses).
		Next I give estimates of the overall civilian toll during the Vietnam War (lines 791 to 798) and then use their consolidation (line 800) to check the figures I previously calculated, as given by sum of civilians killed in war and all democide during this period (line 802).

		The group's count is "the best guesstimate in town," but the figures are far from complete, said Anthony Cordesman, a military expert at the nonprofit research group Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, who has analyzed statistics of American deaths in Iraq.
		Shortly after the Americans invaded, insurgent attacks were aimed almost exclusively at U.S. troops, but over time, Iraqis -- civilians, police officers and soldiers -- have suffered much greater losses, as insurgents, seeking maximum effect, focus their attacks on the softest targets.
		Civilians do appear to be dying at a faster pace.
