My Comment: 44 people were murdered in Los Angeles for the month of May. Is Iraq more safer for an American? Probably not, but if one puts these statistics into perspective, the war is fundamentally over for the U.S. For the Iraqis, the war is still ranging on, but casualties for them are also dropping. As this continues, many of those who fought against the U.S. and its coalition allies will now start to rationalize if it makes sense to be the last "Iraqi resistance" fighter to die for a losing cause.
