...Should Americans be aware of potential terrorist activity? Of course. But we must understand that it is the policies of our government, not the mindless jealousy of fanatics, that make us the object of attacks. Sure, let's beef up domestic security, but let's also have some dialogue about the reasons we need it. Diatribes about irrational enemies feed unthinking fear and obscure any hope of real solutions.

Kitty (Heather Prete) is mostly offstage (and when onstage, mostly mute), the object of everyone else's analysis. They romanticize her fragility ("She's been stepping on broken glass since she could walk"). They lament the burden of fame ("Everyone wants something from her; we're no exceptions").
