Iraq War No Longer Interesting Enough To Make List Of...

As with all good satire, the truth exposed in this aptly titled Onion article is anything but funny. I watch very little tv, but happened to catch a lot of it this holiday week while visiting my family. I'm appalled at the total lack of coverage on the conflict while I'm exposed instead to endless coverage of celebrities' every pathetic move. From the article: "Is that still going on?" 46-year-old Dayton, OH resident Jim Svaboda asked about the war, which many were told would be ending as early as May 2003. "Absolutely nothing new has happened over there in months. Even the soldiers are tired of it."
We're going to be there for years to come, it's quite evident. I pray that the draft is reinstated, for I feel that it would be the only development that would make this sleeping ignorant nation finally stand up and care about what's happening.
