Ok. I haven't talked about Iraq in a while so here's some interesting data to chew on:

Murder numbers:

] [Chicago] ended 2002 with 646 murders, second to Los
] Angeles, which had 653. New York was third with 580.

According to: http://lunaville.org/warcasualties/Summary.aspx

The total number of U.S. soldier fatalities stands at 512. This is 11 months of data.

512 killed in a WAR, compared to a 643 in L.A.

Just some food for thought.

Deaths in Iraq., vs Deaths in Los Angeles
