CASE IN POINT (OPED) Updated Mondays: — CASE IN POINT The mother of all distractions The war in Iraq has also been the source of abiding distraction for the United States. Since Sept. 11, 2001, the administration, which entered into this war by choice and not necessity, has used the bully pulpit of the presidency to discuss little else.
