...citizenship. “Citizenship in the United States of an enemy belligerent does not relieve him from the consequences of a belligerency which is unlawful because in violation of the law of war. Citizens who associate themselves with the military arm of the enemy...[and] enter this country bent on hostile acts are enemy belligerents” and subject to military jurisdiction...
...course, Americans also have lots of questions. Why were Iraqis in Fallujah harboring foreign fighters hell-bent on destabilizing the country's reconstruction? Why don't Iraqis take more responsibility for their country's problems?

Chekhov said that if a gun is onstage in the first act, it will go off in the last act; Ibsen is so bent on his characters’ destruction that he puts onstage two guns, a lighter, and a bar full of flammable alcohol. The move over Hedda’s duration from relative peace to high-strung shooting and burning is inexorable, highly telegraphed and oh-so-precisely plotted, rarely allowing a spare motivation or interaction...
