Remember Iraq?

I am equal parts amazed that the recent spate of violence in Iraq has gotten such nonchalant attention in the US media and annoyed that each successive bombing is labeled by a lazy press corps some sort of "reminder" (brutal, bloody, etc...) of the lingering insurgency there - maybe it never left, but our attention did? Anyways, this happened recently: "Coordinated Bombings Kill at Least 101 in Baghdad."
