That's the population increase I'm referring to, and that's about the size of it, for anyone who is interested. I don't know what the number of deaths due to AIDS in Africa is, but I bet it's quite small compared to this. The number of deaths in Iraq in 3 years and from the Tsunami over the next 2-3 years is peanuts by comparrison.
Just FYI.

Given that population increase, the number of deaths likely to arise from a 'conventional' world war would have no significant impact on the world population, and would therefore be entirely ineffective at addressing the population crisis facing the world.
For a war to have a noticeable impact on the world population, you would need a monstrous nuclear/biological/whatever holocaust to wipe out a few billion people
