There are a significant number of civilian deaths out there some accounted but mostly not.. How else otherwise would anyone explain all the 'missing' people there.. How useful would this statistic of civilian deaths be anyway to a country that has no stable government or a social framework.. So another one bites the dust.. What's new.. Its sad but...
In a country with civil unrest and near(?) war, I'm pretty sure its generally loss of military life and property that gets accounted and 'budgeted' for, more than loss of civilian life or property, simply because some 'resource' deployed towards the cause was lost... How would it really be possible to account civilian losses be it life or property in a war torn country?.. Who would take on that job of counting those figures? How would anyone guarantee the accuracy of those figures.. What would anyone do with those figures anyway... -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Hromyak, Nicholas (DHCS-ITSD) Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2007 7:05 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: OT JOB posting and Nabble ** According to http://www.disastercenter.com/crime/uscrime.htm There are 5.6 murders per 100,000 capita in the United States. According to the FBI http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/05cius/data/table_01.html In 2005 there were 16,692 murders in a population of 296,410,404 people in the united states. That’s 5.6% murdered in the U.S. Iraq I didn’t look up the numbers, I am not even sure where to look, but I think There were over 3,000 soldiers killed with a population (of soldiers) at 130,000 That’s 2.3% murdered in Iraq. I would have thought the number in Iraq would be higher. Be safe everyone. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mayfield, Andy L.

I don’t know this for a fact, but that would be my guess. Considering in the time our troops have been in Iraq, something like 80,000 people have been murdered in the USA. Andy L.

Talking about Iraq, some people (don't want to take names) 'claim' its safe to work there.. and then they add you would go there with the full protection of an army.. Ironical right? Safe and you need an army to protect you while you go to work :-). I was told that by the management of one of the companies I used to work for and I literally burst out laughing and was like you must be kidding!
