This email arrived today. I thought it interesting food for thought:I can't agree more. Great post Kurt!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 firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.
The firearm 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.
My conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington.
You know what they say is the definition of PhD (aside from Piled higher and Deeper) - it's someone who knows more and more about less and less. Hence the title. It's certainly apropos...
