Good News: Now It's Only 20 People A Day Lost For The "Noble Cause"

Found this interesting quote:

"If 20 people killed a day is good news, that tells you how bad things were previously."AMBASSADOR RYAN C. CROCKER, the U.S. envoy to Iraq.

I wonder how that compares with the Good Ol' U.S. of A. Sure, it's a big country, but I know we have weekly killings in my town (big city that it is). These all seem to be drug or gang related targeted assassinations rather than indiscriminate murder, but there are some of both. I suppose our war on crime on the home front is mixed success-wise as well.
