...Since 2003 London has played host to such political dramas as David Hare's Stuff Happens and Richard Norton Taylor's Called to Account, in which Tony Blair is put on trial for "aggression against Iraq." But the latest offering, Baghdad Wedding, written by Iraq expatriate Hassan Abdulrazzak, doesn't focus on political impact of the war. It looks at what has happened to Iraq's middle classes, in particular those who have fled to the safety of western cities like London, Paris and New York...
...back at Graham, citing Congress's move during the Korean War to stop President Harry Truman from deploying forces that had been trained less than 120 days. Levin cites a different historical precedent: how growing Republican opposition to the Vietnam, not any Congressional action, is what ultimately turned President Richard Nixon.

And they increasingly saw religious faith as a proxy, an efficient way to get a sense of a candidate's character...

In May, U.S. Senator Richard Lugar told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that Russia claiming the hydrocarbon-rich area would be to the detriment of U.S. interests. Unless Washington ratifies the U.N. Maritime Convention, pending since 1982, the Senator explained, the U.S. will have no say whatsoever in the dispute - it won't even have a seat on the International Seabed Authority that monitors nations' compliance with the U.N. Maritime convention...
