1. Not nearly as many, considering car bombs can never do the damage that a multitude of missile barrages can do. Estimates of nearly 1 million dead...
2. there are no hard figures on it. That said most Iraqi deaths are either direct or indirect actions of terrorist. That said it clearly not the intention of Coalition forces to kill any civilians or even insurgents, so any deaths are not intended. If terrorist stopped blowing people up our occupation forces could just spend their time helping to rebuild the country.. Most estimates are 100k - 200k Iraqis dead since Saddam was disposed. Below is a good article dealing with the various estimates.
3. 1/3 (Technically), but seeing how America was the country which invaded Iraq, dismantled all it's security forces and didn't put any in it's place, I would say that they're responsible for all of the deaths... sorry if it's not the answer you wanted to hear.
4. Look what most American do not realize/or prefer to ignore, these people love to fight, it's been going on for centuries, they will fight each for one reason or another. I'm not heartless, but more concerned about our troops dying, we lost 5 more just recently. The best of our best are used for security why don't the UN step in and provide this service. Nothing will change there until their government is good and ready--from what I found in my research, the Iraq government is part of the problem. Do your research on the area, there you will find answers regarding this region.
5. 95% caused by extremists...
