#1 sort of like smallpox blankets to the Indians

Too true to be funny, but I laughed out loud anyway.

#2 The Iraqis will bring a strong whiff of reality to the Baltimore proceedings, not a bad thing at all. Not to mention a strong whiff of reality to discussions about America and Americans when they get back.

#3 Sounds like Dean Ayaash gets it. Just one more sign that Iraqis are finally realising they can have an actual modern country again.

Since this is Rantburg, where snark is almost obligatory, let me ask "Which city has the highest murder rate, Tikrit or Baltimore?".

#5 SteveS, I don't even have to look up the statistics to know the answer to that question.

(And neither do you, I suspect....)

#6 Homicide rates per 100,000 people:

Baghdad 76
Karbala 55
Detroit 47 (highest U.S.)
Baltimore 43
Tikrit 32
Kirkuk 28
Philadelphia 28
New York 7

The fine print: Iraq figures are May 2003 through April 2004 per the NYT (/spit). U.S. figures are 2006.
