PNG is peaceful compared to Iraq or Chicago !!!
Lots of places in the US have higher murder/nonvoluntary manslaughter rates than Chicago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_cities_by_crime_rate
We do though have the top score in "violent crime". Since Chicago is well down the list on all of the specific crimes (rape, burglary etc.) one can only conclude Chicagoans must be sissies. What we consider the threshold for violence is apparently quite low.
