In the Twilight Zone, nothing ever really seemed to be as it appeared. So it is today in the Washington D.C.-produced mini-series, “Iraq, the sequel.” Over the next four weeks, this column will direct its attention to the theater occurring in Iraq, where the real life drama we watch daily in the news are scenes that intrigue us, toy with our emotions and claim to inform us of history unfolding. Like real theater, the actors are changing their roles and rehearsing their lines … readying themselves for the next act to unfold, while preparing for their cues to enter and exit the stage. Yet, behind the curtain is a very different activity that the viewing audience does not see. This is “Iraq, the sequel.” CASE IN POINT (OPED) Updated Mondays: — CASE IN POINT Caution needed as we gaze into the abyss Nietzche once wrote, “Whoever battles with monsters had better see that it does not turn him into a monster. And if you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss will gaze into you.” Clearly, that is the subtext for the intensely engaging political thriller, “Munich,” directed by Stephen Spielberg. In 1972, at the Munich Olympics, 11 Israeli athletes are taken hostage and then killed by a Palestinian organization called Black September. “Munich,” loosely based on the book, “Vengeance: The True Story of an Israeli Counter-terrorist Team,” tells of the decision by Israel, using Mossad agents, to track down and kill those responsible for the massacre. The great contradiction — what we do to preserve our freedom also has the potential to erode it — is ever with us, a Gordian knot of staggering proportion. It is ours to unravel and not to cleave. In the face of terror we must act. With the image of 9/11 ever with us, the loss seared in our collective memory, we must respond, decisively and lethally, a mailed fist aimed at our enemies.

MORE LOCAL ENTERTAINMENT Movies: Now playing Ashland’s cultural heritage should be held up as a model Recently I was looking through a collection of materials housed in our fine library concerning the history of the Ashland Chautauqua society. The Chautauqua movement was begun in America by the Rev. John Heyl Vincent in 1874. Like millions of others of his countrymen, Vincent was appalled by the horrors of the Civil War. No one had imagined at the outset that such a war could have been so bloody. One United States Congressman had said on the floor of the House that he did not fear such a conflict. He insisted that the blood drawn in the event of a war between the states could be “mopped up with a single pocket handkerchief.” Church Listings Ashland residents traveling nationwide and around the globe provide first-person accounts of their travels, complete with pictures to share their adventures with the Tidings' readers.
