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

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.

Darfur toll 'at least 200,000' The toll includes refugees who die of hunger and disease More than 200,000 people have died in Sudan's Darfur conflict, according to a new scientific study.
US researchers writing in the peer-reviewed journal Science say that their figures are the most compelling and persuasive estimate to date.

Death Toll Put at 160,000 in Chechnya About 160,000 people have died in Chechnya in the two armed conflicts over the past decade, Chechen State Council chairman Taus Dzhabrailov said Monday, Interfax reported.
Dzhabrailov said the figure included civilians and servicemen and that ethnic Chechens made up 30,000 to 40,000 of the deaths.

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?
