At a State Department conference commemorating the release of these documents, diplomat, strategist, and Nobel laureate Henry Kissinger bemoaned the torment that consumed a generation of Americans as the conflict wore on. The insight Kissinger provides–possibly unintentional–underscores why assessments of war should go beyond critiques of its political and geostrategic ramifications; they should also extend to the various ways that war affects our society and public more generally. In Kissinger’s somber assessment of America’s involvement in Southeast Asia, he said he regrets that what should have been ...

You know, H1N1 Influenza A or whatever it was. You may have forgotten about it now, but it was all the rage last month. It was cured by MPs' expenses. And a motley crew I daresay these MPs all are, but add up the total amount philandered by our flexible friends in the House of Commons and it comes to less than the pension taken by Sir Fred Goodwin. And he was only one of the many bankers and city fat cats who had been ripping off our pension funds for years and who finally, ably assisted by Gordon Brown, brought our economy to it's knees by a level of greed that makes MPs look like Mother Teresa. But no one seems bothered. As Dizzy pointed out in his "quote of the day"Robert Mugabe starves his population to death. Nothing. The Janjawid commit genoc...

Ehrman describes how his struggles with this issue ultimately wrecked his Christian faith. He comes from a Christian background, he knows his stuff, and he raises questions that we should take very seriously indeed. Pat answers just won’t do. EHRMAN : Suffering increasingly became a problem for me and my faith. How can one explain all the pain and misery in the world if God—the creator and redeemer of all—is sovereign over it, exercising his will both on the grand scheme and in the daily workings of our lives? Why, I asked, is there such rampant st...

I have watched that year’s Oscars that awarded the late physician and actor Dr. Haing S. Ngor (1940-1996) for his soulful portrayal of the translator and photojournalist Mr. Dith Pran. But I have seen the film in full only in 2004.   The New York Times announced yesterday the passing away of Mr. Pran, losing to his pancreatic cancer. Dith Pran, a photojournalist for The New York Times whose gruesome ordeal in the killing fields of Cambodia was re-created in a 1984 movie that g... the story of healing blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1344300 Tue, 01 Apr 2008 23:50:14 +0100 1344300 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=463415&cid=t_99934_113_f&fid=34649&url=http%3A%2F%2Ftechnhealth.blogspot.com%2F2006%2F09%2Foperation-village-health-another-great.html Operation Village HealthAnother great telemedicine story that goes to show just how powerful utilizing technology can be for rural areas.Partners Telemedicine has established a telemedicine initiative in Cambodia called Operation Village Health.A nurse from Phnom Penh travels six hours by truck to two remote villages.
