...love, laughter and a common enemy solve - at least locally - the Arab-Israeli conflict? This movie seems to think so, though genial humanism may strike you as a pretty slender hope for so titanic an issue. And it's a big narrative lurch, too, which maybe we shouldn't dwell upon. Much better to focus on the purely comedic, beginning with Sandler's performance. It offers hilarious satire on James Bondian heroics. And Zohan's manic desire to provide "silky smooth" hair dressing represents good comic value, too. There's always been a sweet disconnectedness to Sandler's screen character...
...eyes of even our closest allies, the Administration's Iran policy amounts to a lurch from one imagined crisis to the next.

...Obey's bold move has drawn an immediate indignant reaction from the right, which is fuming that soldiers in the field could be left in the lurch when the current funding runs out. Obey welcomed the furor. "To me that means the message got out just a little bit," Obey said. "The main point is that this war has been the worst foreign policy disaster going back to the war of 1812 and I say the war of 1812 because that's the last war where we actually lost territory. We have ruined our influence in the Middle East...
