Bunin’s play is an odd choice for HRST. It is certainly unique: This may be the only play in existence that is simultaneously a whimsical fantasy and an overt critique of geo-political borders. Ignoring its ridiculous plot, the play is simply not well written, riddled with clichés and obvious morals. At the play’s climax, for example, after watching Adam spend most of his life traveling around the globe in search of Gildoray, he speaks the incredibly revealing line: “I was chasing a kingdom and found it was only...
...what does the departure of a man who worked in just about every Administration since the Nixon era really mean? Probably not much in the long run. The intellectual architect of the Iraq war exits the stage for now, taken out not by his massive miscalculations as a geo-strategist but by his efforts to help his girlfriend.

...Take the country’s foreign policy toward the Middle East, an issue likely to cause some changing allegiances during the upcoming elections. Since the Second World War, America’s stated economic and geo-political objectives in the region have often occasioned ethical memory-lapses by U.S. leaders—overthrowing democratically elected governments, supplying dictators with chemical weapons, supporting Islamic fundamentalism...
