Garry Wills on Jimmy Carter's new book

Garry Wills does a great service in summarizing Jimmy Carter's new book in this article from the NY Review of Books.

I wonder, however, about the percentage breakdown of population to murders is for each of the countries Wills mentions (my sense is that the difference in murder rates, between the US, on the one hand, and Japan and European nations, on the other, mentioned in the article is probably a factor of 10, not 1000).

And speaking of the culture of death, for those who criticize FDR for not bombing the rail lines to Auschwitz, we can now add the obvious genocidal acts in Darfur that continue while we argue and moan about nearly everything else (I count myself in this criticism I am stating).
