...community here that she expects to miss sorely. “I take theater very seriously, but it’s also nice to do it in such a safe space,” she says. “Here, if I try to do a show and I bomb miserably, it doesn’t matter—there’s always another show. When you do that in the professional world, it starts to matter. It’s someone’s paycheck. It’s a review.” Despite trepidations about leaving...
...None of this is to suggest that things could be considered safe or normal in Baghdad, where at least 150 people died in a series of bomb attacks over a 24-hour period just last week. None of the world's most violent cities see carnage like that on a regular basis.

These restraints were tightened on President Clinton’s watch when Pakistan exploded its first nuclear bomb in May 1998. But, after the Musharraf government’s post-9/11 about-face, the American government resumed deliveries of the fighter jet. While we support a strong Pakistan that can fight terrorism, we wonder why a country that is unable to secure its own borders needs a multi...
