Probably not even 20% accurate.

So let's start off with the figure that the president (who wants the
number to look small), agrees with. Is 160,000 lives a reasonable
cost? How many is too many?

If it were your wife who died as a result of terrorist action then you
would probably argue that 160,000 was nowhere near enough.

As the bible puts it: 53 eyes for an eye; 53 teeth for a tooth.

That doesn't sound right. Shouldn't the number of teeth be divisiible by 32?
