man killed over Iraq war

The above link is interesting.
Americans kill each other at a remarkable rate - apparently over 12000 gun related homicides every year. This equates to four 9/11's per year. Perhaps they should have bombed and invaded themselves. Whatever happened to the "war on drugs", "war on poverty". It would be interesting to speculate on what would have happened if the money and effort spent on the Iraq war had been spent on health and education within america.
