Where have Hillary and Obama gone?

Like a parade that has passed by, Hillary and Obama seem to be fading into the past. Let's face it: the Democrats strong suit was providing an exit from our occupation of Iraq. That's what created the excitement in their campaigns. And then two things happened: first, the primaries were held so early in the year that there's no sense of building up to a real climax. The campaigns should have continued until June, say, and then all the states should have had their primaries together instead of this pointless game of who's first. Second: the focus shifted to the economy in March with the sub-prime crisis and as an issue this mostly produces yawns among people that realize you shouldn't buy something you can't afford.
For me, the real issue is still our occupation in Iraq. Many of you are too young to remember the Vietnam War where, toward the end we were losing upward of 300 soldiers - per week - and the administration kept saying we can't leave in "the face of Communist aggression from the North." As it turned out we could and we did and the same holds tru for this Iraq thing. Enough families and lives have already been wrecked on both sides. We should start to leave, now, and let Arabs deal with Arabs. It sounds scary but it's the only alternative to being there indefinitely.
The Democratic candidates should get back to where they stand on the occupation. This should be the true debate - the economy will take care of itself. That is too complex for anyione to understand.
