War? What War?

The war in Iraq never came up in last night's presidential debates. I find this fascinating. Even in a debate on economic and domestic issues, I would expect something as catastrophic as being at war to be mentioned.
Isn't a trillion dollars wasted on a senseless war an economic issue?
Isn't the death and maiming of thousands of Americans and its toll on their families a domestic issue?
Has this country become so used to violence and constant war that it isn't even worthy of discussion anymore?
