...only here in the United States.

A gunmen at Virginia Tech killed at least 33 people and injured at least another 22 today.

It is a national tragedy.

And yet, without minimizing this awful tragedy (which was the deadliest shooting in U.S. history), 33 dead and 22 injured is a fairly typical day in Baghdad.

Imagine dealing with this every day.

Imagine.
