At least not most of them. The number of civilian deaths attributed directly to Coalition actions from 2003 (the invasion) to 2005 averaged about a third of the total. This includes air attacks, the works.

This percentage has been dropping, even as civilian deaths have been rising over that time, and in what Iraqbodycount calls "Year Four--the worst" (March 2006-March 2007), the Coalition forces accounted for 739 out of 29,545 total civilian deaths.

You can do the division as easily as I can.
