...script, by Chris Henchy and Dennis McNicholas, honors most of the show's favorite tropes. There's the monkey-man Chaka (Jorma Taccone), a sort of humanoid Cheeta from the old Tarzan movies; the Altrusian lizard lords Enik (John Boylan) and the Zarn (voiced by Leonard Nimoy); and a huge army of the zombie-like Sleestaks - as Will sagely observes, "That's how zombies get you: volume." If fans of the TV show want a Tyrannosaurus rex to chase Rick into a cave, as in the old days, they'll get their wish. The difference is in the care taken...
...Long War There is nothing new about enmity between the U.S. and Iran; they have been in a sort of low-level war for 30 years.

But so long as Iran maintains its nuclear ambitions, it will always be subject to sanctions from the most developed economies, principally that of the U.S. Without easy access to markets in the outside world, for both imports and exports, Iran cannot hope to develop the sort of economic growth that might - just might - obviate the need for political change by providing economic opportunity and cultural autonomy for those who would otherwise constitute a political opposition. An Iran that did not pursue nuclear dreams might be able to maintain both a controlled, nondemocratic internal political system...
...Prime Minister and everyone else in his country know that the Palestinian territory available for any second state is now so jigsawed up with armed Jewish settlements, checkpoints and exclusionary bypass roads that it would require the deranged precision of an obsessive-compulsive cartographer with Asperger's syndrome to sort out what author Gershom Gorenberg has called an "artificially created Bosnia...
