I received this in an e-mail from a friend. Hat tip to the orriginal author.  

         
           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.
           Applying Democratic Logic:
            The U.S. should pull out of Washington, D.C.
