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
