The tally doesn't make sense.
How do you figure GW is responsible for an insurgent in Iraq (who is likely to be a fanatical fighter from any surrounding bastion of freedom) - setting a road-side bomb that eventually leads to the death of American soldiers?
Similarly, Iraqi deaths are counted. If an insurgent sets off a bomb in a crowded market, it isn't the insurgent that is responsible, but American troops. Make sense?
There seems to be a disconnect here.

Good points. You can also throw in the fact that the gun-toters freely volunteer to go off and kill themselves (w00t).
Indeed, it's a retarded cherry-picked statist statistic. Maybe you can overlook the "facts" and just focus on the underlying spirit of the message? :P
