A Sobering Thought...
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.
Meanwhile, 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...

Makes sense to me.

Amusing. Too bad the math doesn't come remotely close to working.
