There was an information box printed Jan. 4 with the number of soldiers who have died in Iraq and the number of soldiers who have died since President Bush declared the war over in Iraq. I would like to know what the death rate is in each major city within the U.S.? Is it more dangerous for a person to live in this country or to be a soldier in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Please report the news and not comment on the policies and statements of the president of this great nation. We need to look at what to do and where to go now, and stop arguing how we got there. There will be plenty of time later to argue how and why.

We need to support our troops and support our country. Support means to provide a reasonable solution or alternative if you believe we should not be there, and includes how we should proceed next if you believe we should be there.
