Remember, the violence in Baghdad really isn't any worse than in any major American city. Why, just yesterday I think I saw something in the news about a couple car bombs going off in…um…Charlotte, I think. There are multiple IED attacks every day in Indianapolis as well.

Oh, and 25 more US troops died this weekend too. In some major U.S. city, I think, but I didn't really read the article. Maybe it was in Iraq.
Mike says:
Proportionately to the US, there are a little over 1,000 people dying in Iraq every day. (100 X 10:1). Or two September 11ths every week.
Ed says:
We have 5 homicides per 100,000 people annually.
Last year, Iraq had 766 violent deaths per 100,000.
