It’s time to play…IT’S ALL RELATIVE!!!
IRAQ population = 26,074,906 According to latest Lancet study, 655,000 civilians have died since March, 2003 until July, 2006. That represents 2.5% of their population.
USA population = 295,734,134 The equivalent number would be 7,428,822. If 185,720 of our fellow Americans died from bullets and bombs each month for 3 1/3 years; I believe we would be angry.
