Kristi pointed out to me recently that, in the context of the all of the world news, that news about our war in Afghanistan is getting minimized. The list of those killed published regularly in the USA Today is just a couple inches of small print on one of the back pages.

If it is such an insignificant thing, why did long time Sec. of Defense Gates, who has served both parties through both Iraq and Afghanistan, make a speech at West Point this week in which he said that if we get into any more such wars we should have our heads examined.

Apparently in military circles, it raised some eyebrows. But in the mainstream press, it barely got a mention. Hear no evil, see, no evil, speak no evil.
