This is good...Interesting Statistic


Regardless of where you stand on the issue of the U.S. involvement in
Iraq, here is 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.

There's more crime in Washington, DC than any other American city, and that's only in the congress. :)
