Edward Burtynsky: Oil has already left the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, but try to catch it somewhere on tour or at least check out some of the photos online.

It offered a counterintuitive view on what to do in Afghanistan with interesting anecdotes from the '80s that illustrate Iran's longstanding proclivity for duplicity and show how hard it will be to negotiate. Shultz lambasted Washington for running up irresponsible debt. It was quite a bipartisan love fest there, packed with many administration officials as well as columnists.

He highlights how a potential January referendum on a U.S.-Iraqi security agreement could prove troublesome.
