If America was Iraq..... what would it be like?

What would America look like if it were in Iraq's current situation? The population of the US is over 11 times that of Iraq, so a lot of statistics would have to be multiplied by that number.

Thus, violence killed 300 Iraqis last week, the equivalent proportionately of 3,300 Americans. What if 3,300 Americans had died in car bombings, grenade and rocket attacks, machine gun spray, and aerial bombardment in the last week? That is a number greater than the deaths on September 11, and if America were Iraq, it would be an ongoing, weekly or monthly toll.

And what if those deaths occurred all over the country, including in the capital of Washington, DC, but mainly above the Mason Dixon line, in Boston, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco?

The freepers would be out there with their assault weapons fighting off the "occupiers". And the Iraqis would be trying to kill them but mostly killing those of us who need to be liberated from the Bush regime.

I love Juan Cole. He's the guy to go to if you want to know what's really going on in the Middle East, with the Israeli spy case, etc.
