Director Sully Brown seems to have cast with an eye to physical appearance. This effect works particularly well when Hannah and the ghost of the Murgatroyd she renounced (David Haughton) sing the tale of their love; the actors literally embody the subjects of their song--a "pretty little flower" and a "big oak tree."

Does this help the cause of peace? Is this the time to start new settlements, when for the first time you are talking directly to the President of Egypt? This is the first Israeli government that agreed to limit settlements to military camps. But then to build a military camp where you want a settlement and describe that as a new settlement within an existing military...
