Argue against the war, or for it. Say we must withdraw, or that we must "finish the job," whatever that means. It would be nice if such a debate were actually taking place, because the debate is sorely needed. But we are incapable of even beginning to begin such a conversation. People are not disagreeing about the war. They are not even thinking about it, by a count of 97 to 3 percent.

The media is to blame for this. The politicians are to blame for this. The economy is to blame for this.

We are to blame for this.

It is amazing, astonishing, appalling, horrifying the way we forget.
