Farther afield and five years after the war, other coalition members watch Iraq through a more complex lens. Gratitude for defeating Saddam back then is tempered today by new interests and demands. Turkey's Islamist government is keen to revive relations with its old trading partner. Saudi Arabia and Bahrain are mindful of growing fundamentalist and dissident oppositions that demand Muslim solidarity above all. Frustration over the lack of peace progress colors the reaction elsewhere in the Arab world.

While many have found Miller's nudity in this and other pieces offensive, there is no doubt that his body is vital to the sexual frankness of his art. From the moment he affectionately tells the audience that they remind him of a bed of pubic hair, to when he masturbates with a piece of Valencia orange stuck in his mouth, to the climactic moment when he orgasms to Handel's "Messiah," Miller is a paragon of eros, humor and theatricality packed into one vital, often naked...
