    The Situation is written by Wendell Steavenson, a reporter who served in Iraq, as a work of fiction. Its best quality is that the situation in Iraq appears to be sadly realistic.

    An overstuffed, unengaging drama that makes time for a love triangle.

    It's a rare moment when the STORY makes the point, not the speeches.
