Stats:

If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the
Iraq theater of operations during the last 22 months, and a total
of ,112 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 for the
same period.

That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in
the U.S. Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in
nation, than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington immediately!

Um, there's been a hell of a lot more than 112 deaths in Iraq
in the last 22 months.
