The UN is so helpful

[weegee]

Violent crime is rising in America. When will the UN tally those numbers and blame the war?

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

It's interesting that the official UN estimate (inflated as it may be) is a small fraction of the estimates that were being tossed around prior to the US midterm elections. The infamous "study" reported in The Lancet estimated 600,000 dead since the start of the war. The Lancet has rushed reports of "studies" of Iraqi deaths to print twice now -- each time just before a U.S. election.

About 1,000 Americans died. Sort of rebuts the libs' repeated ranting about how the Iraqis are making us do all the work.

Wonderful. Now I need to hear about US soldiers killing all those poor people. When I point out that many civilians are dying due to INSURGENTS, they'll just say that's our fault.

I want them to go up to soldiers who fought/are fighting over there and say, you're horrible murderers! The trouble is, I don't really want them to, because where a sane person would realize, shoot, I'm wrong, they'd actually do it.

I saw this as a huge headline in the Phila. Inquirer this morning and I was going to post this but lo I searched and avoided the flames for duplicate posts.

Iraq has a population of 28,807, 000 and 34,452 "killed in violence." I calculate that as a "killed in violence" rate of 119.6 per 100,000.

Can someone check my math?
