Meatstick Opinion: Why are we still in Iraq?

I tried to come up with a simple explanation as to why we are still in Iraq.
Bear with me here for a minute.
Here is my hypothesis: We are still in Iraq b/c the general public doesn't care enough to pressure the administration and their elected officials to get us out of Iraq.

Here is my data and assumptions:
1st Point:

• The average daily circulation of the newspapers in America is 45.4 million/day.
• That means that 45.4 million are printed and either delivered to homes, bought at various locations, or go unsold and never read.
• I am making an assumption that of those 45.4 million, only 30 million are actually read. The rest go unsold or delivered to a home and not read.
  
• Last Tuesday 33.7 million people watched American Idol

Based on my data and assumption above, 3.7 million more people watched American Idol than read a newspaper last Tuesday. It follows that the majority of Americans are uneducated; therefore, they have no idea what is going on in Iraq.

2nd Point:
Educated Americans see what is going on in Iraq but b/c it doesn't directly effect them, their outrage over the war only goes so far. As evidenced by Vietnam, if there was a draft, the outrage would grow in numbers and intensity.

Summary:
Uneducated Americans + No Draft = Continuation of the war in Iraq
