Heed Paul Harvey on Iraq

Regardless of where you stand on teh issue of the U.S. ionvolvement in Iraq, here's a sobering statistic. THere has been a monhtly avreage of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theatre of operations during the last 22 months, and 2,867 deaths.



That gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers. The firearm death rate

in Washington, DC is 80.6 per 100,000 persons for the same period.



That means 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.
