Subject: Withdraw?



Interesting Thought for the day: Gotta love the logic.

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 firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000.

The rate in Washington D.C. (among others) 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.

Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington D.C.

OK, so for you, there's an acceptable number of casualties which make the
war OK. Where's the cutoff? How many per 100,000?
