Now have a look at http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cr...ers-per-capita
compare the US to most of Europe, and decide for yourself which method works best: "shoot first talk later" or vice versa.
I don't see your point because Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Poland, Georgia, and Bulgaria are all EUROPEAN countries that have higher crime rates than US. Besides the above 9 countries above with higher crime (murder) rates, I don't see how you injected Iraq into this discussion.
