Additionally the conflicts abroad are very well covered by the media and the investment of "blood and treasure" makes them more "real" than a gathering storm that doesn't make headlines.

It's strange how many Americans are more concerned with Afghanistan than a failing state on their own doorstep. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps places like Afghanistan and Iraq are "closer", in the imaginations and real concerns of Washington elites and east coast people than the US / Mexican border?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
