Multiplicity!
Total death toll in baltimore since March 20, 2003(roughly)= 1076
So multiply that by three and you have close to the
Total death toll in Iraq since March 20, 2003= 3065
And multiply that by a hundred(and add another hundred thousand) and you have the
Total death toll in Darfur since July 2003= 400,000
Couple things to consider, i picked baltimore because most of its deaths are due to drugs so its kinna the poster boy for how the war on drugs is failing. And yes the deaths in baltimore is three times less then that in Iraq, they didnt really sign up for this, theres no hazerd pay or USO shows for them, or leave. Also thats just one city, Iraq is a whole county, and the murders due to drugs in this entire country beats Iraq easily. This year alone 114,858 people have been arrested for drug violations, put that with 787 people put in prison this year(which hasnt even been a full month yet) for drug violations and we got a problem. Especailly when you consider a guy is five times more likely to get aids in prison.
And what gets the airtime on CNN? What is Bush always talking about and always being critisized for? Not the WAR on drugs, thats for damn sure. Do polital experts or undercover journalist care that one in ten black males born will end up in prison? Or about the twenty Billion spent every year on the war on drugs? Nope, its always fucking Iraq.
Were fighting a war right here in America. It's a war nobody wants to talk about anymore, thats been forgotten, but people are dying, people are getting arrested, our prisons are getting filled and it will go on forever if we dont start asking questions.
