>>Basra's murder rate of 32 per 100K, is less than the top 6 cities in the US, not just Baltimore and Detroit. And it is less or comparable than a number of countries, like Brazil, South Africa, Jamaica, etc. The big cities in these countries are far worse than Basra. And they are not at war. The overall black murder rate in the US is not much less than Basra's.<< Kyros - You're still assuming that we know the true murder rate in Basra. Also, there is no war going on in Basra right now. - Allen
