What War?

After reading the article, and looking over a few of the other posts, I've come to the conclusion that I really haven't paid attention to this war in Iraq, nor do I know much about it. However, I'm not embarrassed or ashamed of not keeping up with it. The truth is, the majority of us college students - spending four or five years in classes getting ready to begin forty-an-hour weeks - aren't being affected by this war. Sure we have friends or family there and even the ROTC that goes to college and might end up getting shipped over there, but we've seen no real changes in our culture since our country invaded Iraq. The only real thing that's changed is some security procedures used to combat terrorism. I can honestly say that I've gone a lot of days without thinking once about the war in Iraq. I have no opinion at all on this war or politics in general, because there's nothing I can do to influence any of what's going on now. All I worry about is getting to my classes, having something to eat, and having a roof over my head at the end of the day. I don't even really watch the news to look for updates on the war. The only news I've seen lately is sports coverage, and the homicide rate being down a little since Nutter became mayor. Other then NBC10, I try to stay away from news channels because they're way too biased, and again, I have no opinions on politics or any preference for any candidates. I'll vote for the president that can lower gas prices.
