...painted a vivid picture of the abduction and sexual abuse of girls in Iraq. Someone has rightly said that war has no winners, only losers. And perhaps the biggest losers in Iraq for the moment are its girls. Sexual exploitation causes not just physical trauma; there is mental anguish as well. When disowned by their families, such girls are in danger of committing suicide or living the life of a prostitute. The Iraqi government should make it a priority to curb the evil of sex trafficking and rehabilitate its victims. Sunil Kumar Kumawat Sanganer, India...

...Desi in The Long, Long Trailer, way back in 1954? No? That?s too bad. But surely you recall Albert Brooks?s best movie, Lost in America (1991). Our movies - especially the supposedly funny ones - are so relentlessly middle class in outlook, so often concentrated on the romantic anguish of people who are all lifestyle yet in some ways life-deprived. It is good - even sort of soul satisfying - to see them diverted from their top-of-the-line preoccupations and obliged to scrape along the bottom of the line.
