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
theatre 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 , DC 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
