Hi Michael D. Cummings; Re: "Which place is safer to be an American and walk the streets at night, Chicago or Baghdad?"

I hadn't realized that Chicago was so dangerous! Who would ever have imagined that 6 US helicopters have been shot down in Chicago in the last few months? And I didn't know that the residents of Chicago are recycling artillery shells as "improvised explosive devices" for use against the police!

P.S. The central fallacy of the article is that the population of Chicago is a hell of a lot larger than the number of US troops in Baghdad.
