People killed in the Iraqi war zone in a year and a half:

15000


People killed in American hospitals and clinics in one year:

857475

That’s not even making a distinction between innocents and combatants. Then again, perhaps that’s good. From what I can tell, voters aren’t very good with distinctions of subtlety such as this.
