Liberals are outraged that 2,000 Americans have died the last 2 years attempting to spread freedom in the world with the war in Iraq. As a result- they believe that America should withdraw its troops prematurely- which would threaten the growing democracy in Iraq and America's security. However- during that same 2 year period the following has also occurred:

  • 3,000,000 Americans (unborn babies) were killed as the result of abortions.

  • 1,200,000 Americans died as the result of heart disease.

  • 800,000 Americans died as the result of smoking.

  • 200,000 Americans were killed as the result of medical malpractice.

  • 120,000 Americans died as the result of influenza and pneumonia.

  • 80,000 Americans were killed as the result of automobile accidents. This is the leading cause of death for people between the age of 1 and 24.

  • 60,000 Americans died as the result of suicide.

  • 35,000 Americans were killed as the result of murder.

  • 30,000 Americans were killed as the result of non motor vehicle accidents.

  • 10,000 Americans were killed as the result of food poisoning.

  • 5,000 Americans were killed as the result of murder in the state of California alone.
