...with such a theory and what turned it into a book? Naomi Klein: I went to Iraq a year into the occupation and was researching the intersection between the shock and awe invasion and how it was supposed to have laid the psychological groundwork for [Bush's Iraq envoy]Paul Bremer's extreme country makeover that first summer. And what I was looking at, the tail end of Bremer's stay, was how shock therapy had backfired in Iraq - and by shock therapy I'm referring to the economic policies that were really seen by many Iraqis as a continuation...
Rwandan President Paul Kagame followed a well-trod route to power in Africa, from child refugee to guerrilla leader to civilian president. Like other African strongmen, human rights groups have accused him of abuse of power, particularly for slow progress on human rights and for, they say, using the 1994 genocide as an excuse to repress the opposition.

Paul Rusesabagina, the central character in the film Hotel Rwanda - in which he shelters Tutsis in Kigali's Mille Collines Hotel - accuses Kagame, a Tutsi, of pursuing vengeance. "Everything has been taken over by the Tutsi. The Hutu ... are intimidated." And it was two Rwandan army invasions in the late 1990s into the Democratic Republic of Congo, in pursuit of fugitive Rwandan génocidaires...
...toward HIV victims, and after more than two decades, people are still afraid to talk about it.” Seven campus organizations, including the South Asian Men’s Collective, helped organize the Step It Up campaign, which includes a talk by Presley Professor of Social Medicine Paul Farmer, a charity dance, and the sale of the much-discussed shirts. “I like them because they don’t say ‘We’re raising awareness for HIV victims,’ but I can understand what they mean...
