    About this ebook

    The United States has it's own unique way of conducting foreign policy. One which all other countries criticize while secretly wishing they could emulate. This short play depicts all that went into the preparation of Secretary of State John Kerry's dramatic presentation of alleged poison gas crimes committed by Syria. Since generating emotion is key to covering up the hypocrisy of America accusing any other country of crimes, President Obama had to join with aides to find ways to work-up the emotionally deficient Kerry.

    The general consensus is that change is urgent. Yet those claiming to work toward that end choose illusory paths that serve more as an impediment to the change they profess to seek. It is a closed loop -- a path that follows itself -- a safe at home tour rather than an expedition in search of wherever. My plays attempt to untangle the complex knots created by repeated trips to nowhere by focusing on the fearful simplicity of uncontaminated life where acceptance and rejection meet to hash out what's bothering them.
