You are not wrong. In this graph it seems like 2002 - 2012 was the calmest period in a very long time.

Edit:

Actually kind of an interesting graph. Seems like there is a pattern of 10 years of conflict and tension and then a either a hold or another 10 years with a calm period.

I wasn’t really around when the US did their post-9/11 thing… but shouldn’t there be more deaths in that period?

I noticed the same. Like I know the second US/Iraq war was a long one, so like the deaths would be diffused over several years, but It doesn't seem to add up?

Here's another graph I found of just Iraqui civilian deaths: 2006 or 7 had about 30,000

The graph clearly isn't including deaths of muslims.

Come to think of it, it doesn't even label who it counts under "battle deaths"...
