Peaceful Venezuela, lead by the beloved Maximum Leader and dear friend of Cindy Sheehan, Hugo Chavez:  12,249 murders.
(Now, we don't know how many more people were otherwise offed or "disappeared" by the Chavez regime, do we?)

War-torn Iraq, scene of a hopeless civil war and a quagmire from which the only solution is a hasty American retreat:  19,408 (combination of Iraqi Security Forces and Iraqi civilian deaths)

As Gateway Pundit notes, the populations of Iraq and Venezuela are almost identical.  He further notes that most of the Iraqi casualties happened in the first part of 2007, before the "Surge" counterinsurgency strategy had taken full effect.

Kinda gives a bit of perspective, doesn't it?
