Im very happy to speak with you this morning. My question i have memories of the vietnam war from my preschool days until it ended. I was unable to be enlisted at the time. What about the ability of the u. N. , even now, in the present days on the president s enactment of using such a body to enable peace . And to avoid conflicts that are not reported well. As i remember of my military service. That is my question. Guest it is a wonderful question. I wish it were asked time and time again. The relationship that everything we go through in the nation these days relates to, on one side the grit of conflict, and on the other side, the feeling that we ought to spend more time and effort in pursuit of a peaceful resolution of the problem, rather than immediately retreat into a feeling that since we are the strongest nation on earth with our weapons, we will be able to get our way. This gets back to for me this is the central heart of the book and our problems it does not work that way. Its
[captions Copyright National cable satellite corp. 2015] host welcome. I am an associate professor here at hofstra and i am pleased to be serving as moderator for this distinguished forum. A wars in iraq and afghanistan are arguably the most controversial and consequential decisions of the Bush Administration. The decision to go to war, how to get out of the wars, and related issues have not only dominated the bulk of president bushs time in office, but have also shaped current u. S. Foreignpolicy options in and around the regions. They will continue to do so into the foreseeable future. There is very little doubt that the wars in afghanistan and iraq will continue to be measures by which the legacy of the george w. Bush Foreign Policy will be measured. With that in mind, the conference organizers have brought together this outstanding panel of public servants, journalists, and scholars to examine the way the Bush Administration waged wars and the consequences of them. Each of our pane
What do you think is the bottom line in terms of what cbo needs and how should the Public Health community the thinking about it . William h. i think you should ask the former director before you ask me. This is going to sound like a bureaucratic response. As a former cbo staffer but resources, honestly. Resources. I know it is a throwaway, but the need to weigh come as part of this activity we met with cbo staff. I was shocked at the number of Journal Articles they have to go through every week. 1000 Journal Articles, if you can believe it, just to weigh in. I concluded out of that discussion that what they need is a watson ibm program to condense at least narrow it down so they can find out evidence which is replicable, scalable at the National Level. I note it is a throwaway, but they need resources if they will translate this into actual good evaluation of the policies and forth. I want to pick up on something that jeff said, though and bill, too, to some extent. The problem as i s
Of paper and carry it from florida to california to get a letter from california to florida. Why can they figure out a way to get these contraceptives to women that does not involve nuns . They put a man on the moon but they are forcingothersto four orcing others. We are dealing there other people at stake. There are employees who will go without coverage if the nuns will not fill out the form or if anyone or if the university of notre dame will not fill out the form. The government can pay for anything but the would not say for instance that i have an objection to paying within the same as men. We would never say the government has money to make up the salary different so no big deal. They would say we are going to enforce the laws. We would not say i have a religious objection to paying minimum wage. No big deal. The government can make of the salary difference. We would reject that form of claim let alone saying i refuse to fill out a form. The question about the Conscientious Objec
Since 1979, Iraqis have known only war and conflict, both from outside and within. With Islamist radicals advancing toward Baghdad, the future looks as grim as ever.
