Are Americans Interested?

Here are some interesting points about the new "Forgotten War"
In the last four months, American casualties have been at it's lowest since the Iraq War began.
Only one U.S. soldier has been lost, thank God, in the last week and a half. (pretty amazing considering the average has been 2.5 a day throughout the conflict)
Would Americans listen if, lets say, a Katie Couric, or a Brian Williams mentioned any of this? I think they would.
Oh well. We have moved onto "Recession!!!!" as our topic of choice.
Here is one more to add.
