If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 US troops in Iraq during the last 22 months, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000. The rate in DC is 80.6 per 100,000.

That means that you are more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation's Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.



Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington, DC

not sure Castro still draws accolades where ever he goes. There was an article a few weeks back that mentioned all those countries and their investors who rush into Cuba to buy up beach front property for hotels etc now regret it.

Seems CAstro has taken over their businesses and taxed them pretty much out of business. I wonder how all those Canadians feel.. believe they were heavy investors in Cuba and it was one of their favorite vacation spots.
