Two American soldiers waiting under a palm tree in Baghdad or anywhere else in Iraq. There is a boot on the stage. A boot is indicative enough that soldiers are around. It's Estragon's boot, and the two soldiers waiting under the palm tree are Vladimir and Estragon--drafted into the army as Elvis Presley was drafted into the army in Germany in early 1960s. The play is Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. The opening scene has for its background music a very popular Iraqi songs titled, "Over the palm tree, ...." [Fog al-nakhal]. Let your Arabic interpreter, wish he/she were Iraqi, help you with the song, or maybe one of these days, I myself come over to Manhattan and do the job
