In case you thought our government officials didn't care, consider this: Who cares to debate arguably the most burning question today? Well, apparently we only have 3 takers:

(I don't know if that link will persist). Only Biden, Gravel and Kucinich care to participate in the Democratic debate on Iraq. Perhaps it is too in-depth for the others? Disgusting, pure and simple. The vapidity and outright condescending parsimony is infuriating. When will we demand more?

In case any one is interested in what some dare to debate beyond the 1 minute sound bite:
