You can find out the most interesting things when you play with statistics.
If you consider that there have been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a death rate of 60 per 100,000.
The rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000.
That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation's Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq. That's odd considering there are supposed to bemany more guns per capata in Iraq. Maybe that is wrong. Maybe there are really more guns per capita in DC/
Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington? Or should we develop a new stratagy for quelling the violence there?
