There are a few hundred million Americans in the US.  I do not know the actual number in Iraq, but would say it is probably in the tens of thousands, or about 0.1% of the number in the US.  If 10-12 times as many are killed in the US, that is still a far smaller percentage than those dying in Iraq.","author":"Sisyphus","parent_id":100120,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2004-01-15 21:32:14","modified":"2004-01-15 21:32:14","fileurl":""}]}
