This was send to DH by one of his US friends. Just amusingly (IMO) shows the
conclusions that can be gleaned from statistics:
Interesting Thought for the day:
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. 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.
