>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 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 .
