Nicholas, Your math is off. It's 0.0056% for the US, not 5.6%, which would be about 1/410 the rate in Iraq. (Of course the numbers get a bit more complicated that that when you consider that the Iraq numbers are over a period of years with varying populations of soldiers.)

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. ------------------------------
