Once upon a time, in the land of Mesopotamia, nearly 3,000 years ago, there was a place called Kurdistan. The people residing there were called Kurds. Long before Mohammed, and even before Jesus Christ was born of men, there lived the Kurds. One day the Kurds awakened and their country was gone, and they were suddenly living in the countries of Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran. In the aftermath of the takeover by the United States, Talabani emerged as Iraq's first Kurdish president. Ironically, this man fought for Kurdish independence from Iraq for many years. Today, Barzani rules the Kurdish north, where the oil-rich regions of Kirkuk are a grand prize. Allawi and his various relatives and strongmen remain in power despite having no political office (his cousin is Minister of Finance). Chalabi is Deputy Prime Minister and in December 2005 took over the Oil Ministry for a scheduled period of 30 days while the man he replaced was unexpectedly forced to take an unplanned vacation. Where that scenario will lead is anybody's guess. And what about the Shiites and Sunnis? They simply want their country back … sans America. In the meantime, while America has control over Iraq, the target has once again fallen on Iraq's neighbor, Iran. CASE IN POINT (OPED) Updated Mondays: — CASE IN POINT Pro-choice, pro-life: reframing the debate So much has been written about the conundrum of abortion — Roe v. Wade, right to life, right to choose, partial-birth abortion ban, unborn victims of violence act, life begins at ... fertilization? birth? or when? — that just raising the subject can cause the reader to grow weary, long before completing the first sentence. It is one of those defining issues that engages us as a society for so many disparate yet seminal reasons, one that the Supreme Court will certainly revisit sooner than later. And do so with Sandra Day O’Connor gone and Samuel Alito newly seated. Clearly, the American people are conflicted over abortion: while supporting Roe they understand the implications of abortion as a procedure, and recognize that it is a profoundly serious decision for any woman. To abort a fetus is invasive and traumatic, both physically and psychologically. And yet the public still wishes it to be an option for women; however, they view the choice not in the affirmative, but as the least of many evils. There are no obituaries today — POLICE From ‘Dreams’ to reality Performance puts Moeschl on display When Richard Moeschl’s “Arthur’s Dreams” opens at Oregon Stage Works in Ashland on Monday, it will be one more milestone for a play that Moeschl wrote in 2003. Narnia comes to Ashland for one magical weekend Lucy and Peter will venture in the land of Narnia two more times before the Sapphire Theatre Group’s production of “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” ends this weekend. In Review | The Crucible Arthur Miller’s powerful testament, “The Crucible,” written and performed in 1953, is now playing at Oregon Stage Works on A Street. It is a stark enactment of the spiritual battle against the dark forces in the world, particularly as epitomized by the events leading to witch trials in Salem, Mass., in 1692 that resulted in 19 hangings and earned it the dubious distinction of Witch City. Movies | T.V. | Calendar Stories updated by 6 p.m. Thursday ( Back issues available ) Cabaret Theatre kicks off its 20th Anniversary season with “Honky Tonk Laundry,” a new country musical written by Roger Bean, creator of OCT’s 2002 show “Route 66.” Jussara Luz Padilha Jussara Luz Padilha’s new series of original prints, paintings, and collage work will be showing at Village Shoes and Art Gallery in downtown Ashland at 337 E. Main St. through April. LOCAL ENTERTAINMENT Book Review & Movies: Now playing ‘Affluent beggars’ an opportunity to examine ourselves Forgive me, but I’m feeling yanked in a couple of directions by the current discussion / firefight over Jason Pancoast and Elizabeth Johnson — you remember, the “affluent beggars” who walk our streets and whose story has been spread across the country by the Associated Press. And it’s easy to say you feel compassion for the homeless until you meet people like Jason and Elizabeth who’ve been pretty, shall we say, up-front about their situation.
