That’s Right Nate

I was just reading the American Thinker Blog (http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/) and I saw this amazing graphic.  If you made every thousand deaths worth one cent, the deaths in Iraq only add up to 4 cents.  Not to pricey at all if you compare that to the number of Americans who have killed themselves or killed others in the time since the war began.

However, there’s other news.    According to the University of Georgia, Iraqi war veterans were more than two times as likely as other people to committ suicide.  Other Americans kill themselves at a rate of 8.9 per 100,000, but Iraqi veterans go up to 20.8 per 100,000.  That makes the stack for suicides grow even bigger.

Of course you will never hear liberals mention this, but in many ways Iraq is probably the safest place for these people.  Sure its easy to complain about the 4,000 people who died, but why don’t we ever talk about the ones who didn’t.
