If that is true, we'd better start packing our bags!

JK, You are right - more Americans have died in Iraq (2900+) than died on Sept 11th (total deaths 2800 - although around 800+ were foreigners).
You also forgot one small point, JK. The "average" number of murders in the USA (over the last 20 years) is appx 17,500 a year. This figure does not fluctuate much (min 16,000 - max 20,000).
The Yankers are always bleating on about being terrified of foreign "terrorists" but fail to notice one glaring fact !
In 2000, when there were NO terror attacks in the USA they were 17,500 times more likely to be killed by a fellow American than a foreigner.
The same applies in 2002 (and every year since).
Even in 2001 - the year of Sept 11th - the Yankers were STILL six times more likely to die at the hands of one of their fellows than from a foreigner !
I see that the BBC's Nick Robinson managed to "rattle" the loony one? He ought to know better than to ask him intelligent questions!!!

Blair's dodgy right eye is getting odder and odder... he looks demented... and Bush seems madder than ever... the two of them spouting deluded platitudes resembled lunatics... oh dear...
Am I right in thinking that more Americans have now died in Iraq than on 9/11?
Does that make Bush a better terrorist (or terrist) than Osama?
