If Iraq is in "chaos" as you suggest, why is the violent death rate in
Iraq much lower than in Washington D.C.? This, after all, was the
original post. Let's deal with that reality before we move on. Please
tell me why Iraq is in chaos, and Washington D. C. is not. If you
can't do this, then I don't think you have much of a case.

The very simple fact is that most of the news media are virulently
anti-war, anti-Bush, and anti-American. They portray everything in
Iraq in the worst possible light in order to harm Bush and America.
When inconvenient facts, like the subject of this post, come up, they
react violently and change the subject, much like you are doing.

Sorry this is in so many video newsgroups, but as many of you are
probably in the left-wing media, maybe it is important for you to hear
opposing points of view for a change. In any case, it is easy enough
to ignore a thread if you want to.
