Well, for any given two week period (say the last two weeks) more people died
as a result of traffic in the US then all the US solders who have died in our
last (current) war in Iraq...

Kind makes you think....


***
Please note that more US Military personal died outside Iraq in the last year
then inside...  So this is really a matter of how many people are being placed
in harms way times the likelihood that any one of them will be harmed... but
makes you think non the less
