10/28/2009
Commander Adams of the 82nd Airborne says he secured Khost province with only 250 troops by befriending the tribals and building roads and a spring water syste to help 12,000 villagers.

Letters to the Editors of the New York Times on the Vietnam experience and Afghanistan.
10/22/2009
An infantry soldier describes his experience in the fighting, and the attitudes of the Vietnamese people he saw, who were indifferent at best. A former deputy national securtiy advisor to President Johnson points to the contradiction handed down by the Kennedys- dont lose and just use a small number of advisors. An AID adviser to the police describes his experience. Most of the letters see huge risks and losses in Afghanistan. The subject prompting these letters is Lt. Col. Sorley's account of the war in his book "The Better War." In aquestion and answer session on C-SPAN Books on October 24, 2009, Sorley- who led atank battalion in the war- said that a war like that in Vietnam or Afghnistan should be fought only if there is public support behind it on both sides of the poilitical spectrum. He also said that American entry into the Vietnam conflict itself is a contentious issue in that he thinks a good argument could be made for and against entry.

A grim diagnosis for our ailing U.S. health care system - The Washington Post
Washington Post 11/28/11
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
