When one thinks of an auteur of the cinema, a couple names pop to mind: Truffaut, Bergman, Bresson, Tarkovsky to name a few. Looking to Japan, one might name Ozu and Kurosawa as the definitive auteurs of the Japanese cinema, but to stop the list there is to criminally overlook perhaps the most popular filmmaker of contemporary Japan: Hayao Miyazaki. Miyazaki focuses on the adolescent as much as Ozu focused on the family, and is as enamored with flight as Tarkovsky was with water. And as Miyazaki acts as the head animator on all of his films, one can quite literally see his touch on every frame of every motion picture.

The Israeli Knesset's decision to unilaterally evacuate and dismantle Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip this coming August has been widely viewed by the press and the international community as an inevitable first step towards peace within the framework of the Middle East peace process. President Bush, patriarch of the sputtering "Road Map," has shown his support for disengagement by hosting Prime Minister Ariel Sharon at his ranch in Texas this past April, while European leaders have been more quietly supportive of Israel's plan, as they believe it will foster future peace. Despite the fact that Sharon has generally succeeded in convincing the international community of the soundness of Israel's disengagement plan, he has failed to sway a vocal, dissenting minority in the Knesset, a large segment of the Israeli populace, and the Palestinians themselves, the main benefactors of disengagement. Through its proposed disengagement, Israel is not only giving Gaza away but also appears to be ceding an ideological victory to terrorist organizations and the moral right it claims to possess pertaining to the existence of settlements in the West Bank.
