population of iraq
politicsi was just hunting around to get an idea of the population of iraq, and to try and get an idea of the effects of the war on the people of iraq. wiki states the current population at a little under 27 million, a few of the hits in my searches mentioned a massive influx on people into iraq. comparing the population of iraq and its growth over the period prior to the first ‘gulf war’, thanks to the université du sherbrooke, we can see that the population of iraq was in the order of 24 million in 1999 (9 years after the first bombs dropped) and was growing at around 3 percent per year. now 17 years since the war the population is around what it would have been in 2003.
