Professor Cole, I have no memory of the poem save the exotic sounding name, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Your translations, however, have opened a window I might compare to the window opened by my discovery of The Living Bible v The King James version.
Without your translations I probably would have missed the pleasure of this incredible work of literature.
I am so taken with the quatrains, I am listening to them read in Farsi on youtube! But, mostly, I am just loving your translations, sharing them with my spouse & my friends.
Pretty sure this cartoon will never be favorably compared to the LBJ appendix scar/Vietnam cartoon, but I agree with the sentiment. And I thought Obama might actually try something different than endless war!

I'm unaware of "GWOT fatigue among analysts and commentators." Could you explain?
Thanks for speaking truth to power!
