Chicago is in the USA. Not a war-zone. There should be much less chance to be shot anywhere in the USA then there is in Iraq. For the record, I don't have cable and therefore don't watch "Fox News". Thank you very much for the comment. -Mike BA,

The odds of troops being killed in Iraq far exceeds those of a citizen of Chicago being murdered......and if your a civilian in Iraq, well there are no official estimates of casualties but some place it in the millions. this is a irresponsible misleading post very similar to a fox news story that ran in 2004 suggesting that you had a better chance of being murdered in L.A.than in Iraq. As a self proclaimed geek you should know that math doesnt lie. B.A an absurd statistic , there are close to 3 million people in Chicago and only 200,000 troops in Iraq.
