Is it that Afghanistan is more stable, or Americans feel that war is less controversial, or what? Any educated answers or responses would be appreciated.

There aren't car bombs going off and US servicemen paying the ultimate sacrifice every day in Afghanistan. Bad news sells. Plus, even the liberal media knows Afghanistan was necessary, they just don't see Iraq in the same light.

Because the Democrats have convinced a large portion of the American people that the Iraq war is a mistake, entered on false intelligence and that it took the concentration off of Afghanistan. they don't bother to tell the people that they saw the same intelligence and voted for the war they want all the blame to go to the Republicans. After 9/11 people were ready to go to war in Afghanistan but are not capable of comprehending that Iraq is a very important front in the war on terror.

The reason you hear more about Iraq is because it keeps the focus off of the first and most important failure. Osama. He's still out there and as long as the American public is focusing on Iraq they are less likely to focus on the fact that our president has dished out a lot of dough on war, but not much towards catching the cause of so much death on our own soil.

In part because of the short attention span of the media and the public. Fewer Americans getting killed. There a some pretty big problems in in Afghanistan, however. THere is an insurgnecy going on there also.

Afghanistan is more stable compared to Iraq and we do not think that it is very important anymore in the overall scheme of things, all about the oil you know, besides we lost sight of the capture osama at all costs deal

I believew it is probably because it is less controversial. Most would agree that AMerica needed to go to Afgahnistan. Im not sure though whether it is more stable or not, I'd be interstred in finding out.

There are 20,000 troops in Afghanistan. I have several friends that I served with over there, and the difference is that they can't talk bout it. The media needs to keep quit and let the military to their job and not reveal any of the US plans of attack!!!!!

The Liberal Press realizes that Iraq was a mistake for Bush.
They don't want to cover his justified war.

Yeah, I think it, at least, seems more stable and people are more angry over Iraq in so many ways.

1) There is less for Libs to criticise in Afganistan.
2) There are far more US soldiers in Iraq.
