Oh, yeah, THAT war…

I've been watching and reading a lot of September 11th stuff in the last few days. I have to admit I consume September 11 material like crazy. If there's a documentary on -- emphasis on the factual part -- I watch it. And no, I didn't watch the ABC thing. But I didn't go see Farenheit 911 either.

As the day winds down, I'm actually struck -- dumbstruck I guess you could say -- that nobody in political circles seems to be talking about that other war -- Afghanistan.

Iraq, we talk about. Iran, we talk about. Afghanistan, we don't talk about, which is curious since it appears the Taliban is regrouping there.

There's a little less than a couple of months left to talk about it. Anybody?
