What war?



Just returned from a family trip. For the last few days, my main source of news was the cable TV in our room. Heard all about Lindsey Lohan and Mr. Dog Fighter Man, but not a word about Iraq. I mean nothing. It was like I entered some kind of alternate universe where the war just wasn't happening and no one's lives were being disrupted or destroyed.

Imagine my surprise, then, to return home and find that my country is still neck-deep in a brutal, stupid war in Iraq, and it generates more bad news every damn day.
