yeah... those original numbers are pretty messed up

californiadoctor, you wouldnt have to find the annual rate because according to this highly reliable source, the rate for DC was for the same period, so you would be comparing the 1320 per 100,000 in Iraq to 80 per 100,000 in DC. both those numbers are for a 22 month period.

this means that being killed in iraq is 16.5 times MORE likely than in DC.
