Default Interesting Statistics....

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 2,867 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.
