What were forgetting here is that there is a war there and there are significantly less people. The United States has a problem with violence and there are a lot of people. Statistics can always be spun in a different light.

I think you need to read it again. It says "per". That is the same no matter how big or little your population is. 44 deaths per 100,000 is the same no matter if you have 400,000 or 800,000. It is still 44 "per" 100,000 no matter where.
