    		Colombia is probably #1, but this list has been critisized for leaving out Brazil which probably should be in the top 10.

    Brazil murder rate similar to war zone
    Sep 26, 2006

    BRASILIA, Brazil - More than 150 Brazilians were murdered each day last year on average, putting Brazil on a par with some war zones in terms of its homicide rate, the Justice Ministry said today.

    Some 55,000 Brazilians died of homicide in 2005 - a few thousand more civilians than in three years of war in Iraq, according to leading estimates.

    		Not anymore, for a few years Colombia has been improving steadily. Now it's 8th. Jamaica and Honduras are tied for #1.
