| I think the point that the Flying Dutchman is trying to make is this. In one Kansas County there have 7292 deaths. In the same time frame in the War in Iraq there have been 4046. If you figure that there have been 130,000 to 150,000 troops in Iraq at any given time. So over the last 6 years that is somewhere between 780,000 to 900,000 people. So that you have a better chance of being killed in an accident or from natural causes then you do from fighting a war in Iraq.
