The U.S. should pull out of Washington!
« on: March 16, 2007, 02:05:17 PM »
Interesting statistics

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 2,867 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!

I dunno about you, but I'd take wannabe gangster crackheads over crazy mofos with aks chanting "AAALLLLLAAAHHHHHHH!!WAKUBARZzzzzzzz!"

And they didn't call DC the murder capital of the US for nothing.  ;)
