OPEN PHONES: How do the viewpoints of men and women differ during wartime?
Larry Mantle speaks with Dr. Modesto Hevia, Professor of Psychology at the Arizona school of professional psychology at Argosy University, Phoenix campus, about how men and women view war.
Rebuilding Iraq
Iraq is the place where civilization began and where human culture thrived in the Middle East. Over the past several years, Iraq has suffered significantly under foreign sanctions and domestic oppression, not to mention the current war. Larry talks with author Joseph Braude about his new book, The New Iraq: Rebuilding The Country For Its People, The Middle East, And the World (Basic Books). It tells the story of a country in flux, from memories of its distant past to the painful realities of life today, and how a global commitment to Iraq's renewal, in Braude's opinion, would benefit all who take part in this emerging project of state building.
