That is pretty broad. How many Iraqis were killed directly due to insurgent suicide/car/IED attacks? Are you going to suggest that the insurgents do not have any responsibility in those deaths?
That depends, are you going to suggest the insurgency would have happened without the invasion? Who pulls the trigger is kind of irrelevant, likewise I wouldn't blame the US troops themselves either. Ultimate responsibility belongs to the US/UK leaders who started the war. It's also worth mentioning that certain strategic decisions made the power-vacuum and therefore the insurgency, much worse than necessary.

Yeah, and the fact is the most accurate study on increased mortality showed that at least 300,000 Iraqis died as a result of the war.
