"We don't hear all that much about Iraq these days, do we?
"The war at one point almost tore apart this country. Public anger sent George W. Bush's approval ratings plummeting. And the outrage over our losses helped elect vocal anti-Iraq-war candidate Barack Obama.
"But Iraq is hardly in the news anymore. That seems odd, given there are still 120,000American troops stationed there.
"So, why the silence?
"In short, Americans are not dying in Iraq as they were from 2006 to 2008. Twice as many Americans have died in Afghanistan this year as in Iraq. As of this writing, in December, there have been four coalition fatalities. That's about 1/10 of the number of people murdered per month in Chicago in 2008."
Brother X says: "Simple. Iraq under Bush was bad. Iraq under Obama is good, no matter how many people get killed."
