Nearly 30 die in Afghanistan bombings, other attacks | Nation/World | Detroit Free Press | freep.com
Not for the last couple of years. More Americans have been killed in Chicago, than service men and women in Iraq.

Definitely Not a tourist video promoting a fun filled week in the Chicago War Zone.

The sad thing is, is that it's confined to certain neighborhoods. Most of Chicago's neighborhoods never see murder. It's all confined to certain neighborhoods.

It's not unsafe at all to visit Chicago. You'll run into NO problems in downtown Chicago or most of the northside.

There are roughly 6 million Americans in the Chicago area, I think Iraq has a little over 20,000 service men and women.

Capt. Obvious says, duh.

What are you saying?? Please explain yourself. I'd like to hear your reasoning. One city is at war. The other is just a city.

I'm saying that that it's no surprise that more Americans are going to die in Chicago than in Iraq. Chicago has more Americans than Iraq does.

One city is a war zone. The other is not. I still don't understand your reasoning.
