Hi Bilow:
How safe is Iraq.?
From looking at some statistics on Web sites here are countries with support personnel in Iraq.
(Note: These figures change constantly and are close but not precise)
1. US 132,000 Casualties 518
2. UK 11,200 .... 57
3. S Korea 3000..none
4. Italy 2400....17
5. Poland 2000...2
6. Aust 2000.....None
7. Spain 1300....8
8. Ukraine 1000..1
9. Japan 1000 ..none
10. Thailand 400..2
11 Philipines 179. none
12 Denmark unknown, 1 casualty
Plus Netherlands, Romania, Chezk, New Zealand
29 Countries in all with military/peacekeeping forces
cnn.com
Casualties from all causes, average from 100 of the 518
US casualties
1. Combat or bombs .. 50
2. Non-hostile causes, like sickness or drowning 22
3. Vehicle accidents 14
4. Helicopter crashes 12
6 Friendly fire 2
In Summary:
1. Only 1/2 our casualties are being shot or blown to little bloody pieces by the enemy.
2. Hillary, Blair, Bush,Rumsfeld and some other VIP's have made it safely into and out of Iraq.
3. Travelers should not wear a US uniform or carry guns.
Dont ride in helicopters or drive while drunk and Iraq may be as safe a place as Watts or Inglewood
