Something to think about
Regardless of where you stand on the issue of the U.S. involvement
in Iraq, here's a sobering statistic. There has been a monthly
average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during
the last 22 months, and a total of 2,112 deaths. That gives a
firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.
The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000
persons for the same period. That means that you are about 25%
more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. Capital than you are
in Iraq.
Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington
