By the way, we're at war

The Arizona Republic

While you're out shopping, Americans, build a memorial in your mind to our troops

There's a war on. But you'd never know it from our self-indulgent behavior of late.

Arizonans devolved into near frenzy as the millionaire players of the Phoenix Suns dribbled their way through, and out of, the National Basketball Association playoffs.

Thousands more sat entranced in front of big-screen televisions as favorite daughter Jordin Sparks mounted the summits of American Idol.

We clucked non-stop over the loopy Scottsdale mom who abandoned her toddler to parking valets so she could shop. We obsess about Sanjaya, about the fictional Tony Soprano, who's "hot or not" and - God help us - the endless antics of Paris Hilton, the reigning diva of fame for fame's sake.
