Hyperbole doesn't help anyone. Sure, America is a lot more violent than Western Europe, but both America and Western Europe are so much less violent than a veritable warzone like Afghanistan that even trying to claim otherwise doesn't achieve anything productive.

That's because Afghanistan was a warzone and still is; but to make snide aspersions as to where these nations are 'stuck' based off of acts of wanton violence is wrong and belies a blind hypocrisy.
