Maximum-Security Manger Like Jamil Hamad, I too bemoan the changes that have transformed Bethlehem [Dec. 31, 2007 - Jan. 7, 2008].

But I take issue with a number of subtle insinuations in Hamad's article. He was critical of the security checkpoints, but since the city is no longer under Israeli control, why should the crossing into Israel be different from those between the U.S. and Canada or Mexico, for instance?

Almost in spite of sometimes heavy-handed direction and overly emphatic dialogue, “The Trojan War Will Not Take Place!” remained a prescient reminder of how quickly injured honor can devolve into violent conflict. Hector’s reappraisal of his own impressions and assumptions about war was a persuasive cry for contemplation well after the house lights came back...
