      Harold Pinter has always written about universals. If he would write about Iraq specifically; it would lose meaning in a couple decades. He's much more effective when speaking about the bigger picture. Our leaders could do well to look at the bigger picture themselves instead of focusing on the next prefabricated struggle.
