Saw this on another thread......Didn't someone mention the other night that more people were killed in large cities than in Iraq.....Well here's some statistics:

FOR ALL the attention we spend on the number of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq, this is the statistic that should really capture people's attention in Philadelphia:
Last year, more people were killed in Philadelphia than in war-torn Iraq: 347 in the city vs. 327 in Iraq. And even more disturbing: Last year's number is a 20 percent increase from 2002's 288 homicides. Twenty percent.
