The Invisible War

Are we still at war in Iraq? I recall a war that is draining billions of dollars from our economy and that has taken the lives of thousands of Americans, not to mention tens of thousands of Iraqis.

But I really couldn't tell by reading The Post this week. On Tuesday the only mention of Iraq was in the World in Brief roundup on Page A12 ["Rockets Hit Houses, U.S. Base in Baghdad"]. Wednesday's paper devoted a single column of type on A14 to the Iraqi government's efforts to rid the streets of disabled people who might be used as suicide bombers.

Is this all that is happening in Iraq? Is the American public so bored with the war or so preoccupied with the elections that we can't be bothered to read about it anymore? We need to be reminded every day about this war that we are responsible for and so many are paying for with their lives.
