I couldn't help myself after seeing the following article.

Holiday weekend provides no respite from Chicago's violence

From Dec. 23 through Dec. 26, there were 44 shooting incidents in the city of 2.7 million and 12 people were killed, according to the Chicago Police Department. The number of murders in Chicago stands at 754 for the year.
I Googled Iraq's population, in 2013 it was 33.42 million, which divided by Chicago's population = 12.38 multiply that by the number murdered in Chicago (so far this year), and that equals to 9,334.5 murders in Iraq. Iraq may have that many people killed this year (maybe not), but they're at war.

Clearly, eight years of a Democratic President, and unknown years of a Democratic Mayor has done little for Chicago. I hope President elect is serious about addressing the problems in our inner cities. We spend more money on Egypt than we do addressing our problems at home.
