Then no doubt you are currently at work preparing in your view a more
appropriate pictorial compendium of the just concluded war in Iraq. One would hate to
think you are merely concerned with American missteps, however, so no doubt
you are also preparing a pictorial compendium of the Saddam Hussein regime and
its legacy. You'll find no shortage of dead children there.
Indeed, I think it fair to say that such projects could lead you on the path
to an entire series of successful works. Perhaps a coffee table book of the
mass graves at Hue? One dedicated to the massacre of the Hmong in Laos perhaps?
Imagine the possibilities in a tome about the South Vietnamese boat people! Ah
well, perhaps it is expecting too much that your culinary skills include
recipes for both "oily" and "rubber, tin, and they were nationalists only!!!!"
omelettes...
