    Death rate in Iraq vs Washington DC

    This was sent to me as a joke, I can't verify where it originated or if the statistics are correct:

    If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theatre of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,112 deaths, that gives a firearms death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers. The firearms death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same period. That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.

    Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington .
