So you took a poll, "do you give a rats @ss that 1 Million Iraqis were killed by USA" and most people didn't care? Let's tone it down, USA did not go there to kill a million people, it happened because of the war, and Saddam might have killed 2 mil if he was alive for Arab Spring. Not saying that Iraq war was justified but there's a huge difference.

If they had issues bigger than killing hundreds of thousands of people then... And I'm saying this as an Australian, we weren't much better.

Yes, even with the strawman wording you put forth, I suspect that > 50% would come down on the "don't care" side. If you worded it in a way that was designed to tease out revealed preferences, like: "Have you considered the plight of Iraqis in the last year?" you would get even more dramatic results.
