Why Does Math Hate America ... or ...
Why Do the Warfloggers Hate Our Troops?

90/150,000 = x/10,000,000
What is x?

x = 6,000

If six thousand were getting shot down, run over, rpg'ed, killed in industrial accidents, and shredded by IEDs in Manhattan or LA on a monthly basis, I think perhaps I'd hear about it. In my little town of 50,000, one violent death per day would certainly register with the populace.

The only city I know in depth that has a horrific death rate is New Orleans. A pace of one a day is not unusual. In the neighborhood at the epicenter, they don't need the liberalcostalelitemedia to explain the problem. All too often they know the names, and sometimes the families and the histories. (Thank goodness the war on drugs is going so fucking brilliantly.)

So the war floggers don't think our troops are facing anything worse than a bad day in LA? Fuckers. Fucking pasty-faced computer warriors. How dare they belittle those who face down supersonic bits of flying hot metal? "Yeah, like, I got totally stuck in wicked traffic on the 405 once. I'll never leave Orange County again."

And with the much lower, but regrettable death rates in dangerous neighborhoods of American cities, could it be that Bush has his pri-or-TEEs a bit off-kilter? So, we're killing Iraqis to make America safer. And that makes sense beeeecause ...???
