Notes on Paul Wolfowitz: "Under his leadership, the Policy Staff played a major role in reviewing war plans for the Gulf War, and developing and executing plans that successfully raised more than $50 billion in Allied financial support for the war and prevented Iraq from opening a second front with Israel. Other key initiatives included the development of the Regional Defense Strategy, the Base Force, and two presidential nuclear initiatives that led to the elimination of tens of thousands of U.S. and Soviet nuclear weapons.

La Miniature En Orient Plate 42: The Sleep of Rustam: "Washington DC Area - BWI - Dulles - National - Airport Limousine Service
The Sleep of Rustam
Plate 42. Persia, Mid 15th century, Formerly in the Martin Collection, Stockholm Sweden.
La Miniature En Orient by Ernst Kuhnel 1925
Translator's Note: While Kuhnel did not attribute this painting to an artist it is now widely viewed as the work of Sultan Muhammad. Stuart Cary Welch suggested that this miniature was originally intended for the book we know as the Shah-Nama of Shah Tahmasp.1. Sheila Canby takes that one step further by suggesting that Tahmasp steeped in the artistic tradition of Herat rejected this piece on stylistic grounds. 2. One point that both Welch and Canby is the date, circa 1515 - 1522.
This represents the pinnacle of the Tabriz Miniature tradition prior to the arrival of Tahmasp and Bihzad from Herat. Compared to Bihzad Sultan Mohammed could be rather clumsy and crude but the colors and the vitality make this a treasure but one that did not fit the Herat esthetic.
Detail - The sleep of Rustam
Here we see Rustan one of the great heroes of epic poetry. The earliest images of Rustan are Sacian from Central Asia. This hero was grafted onto Persian legends in the Shahnama (Book of Kings) by a poet named Firdausi. 3.
