There's a strange phenomenon among Iraqi refugees in Damascus -- most are nocturnal. Virtually everyone sleeps all day, wakes up late in the afternoon, and stays awake until the small hours of the night.
Billie Jean in Baghdad
For every five people who have read Lolita in Tehran, roughly a billion have tried, in the privacy of their own rooms, to master the moonwalk.
From Wall Street to Neverland: The Year America Didn't Sleep
The public health burden of insomnia on the US is measured in the hundreds of billions of dollars. While we routinely cut calories, or cram in exercise, sleep has not even entered the conversational lexicon.
Get Out of Iraq, Afghanistan, Turner tells CU Audience
"I became a peacenik," Ted Turner says, because when he was running CNN and the U.S. started bombing people around the world, they were "bombing my customers."
Friday Talking Points [101] -- Count Me With The Misfits
Whether or not Harry Reid ever gets his act together, the achievement of Nancy Pelosi getting healthcare reform legislation should stand on its own as an admirable political achievement.
To Iraq and Back
Sometimes returning to our roots inspires us to revisit ourselves within the concentric circles of shared destiny. In search of my own heritage I journeyed to Iraq after the first Gulf War.
Obama In Flux
As he embarks on his first big trip to Asia, President Barack Obama's strategies are in flux in many areas.
"Qum" Buy Ya
While the technical revelations regarding the Qum nuclear enrichment facility filter out as the IAEA prepares its final report to the U.N., the U.S. is at a crossroads regarding Iran's nuclear program.
Bush Oil Buddies Divvy Up Iraqi Oil, Now Joined By "Liberal Scion" Peter Galbraith
Peter Galbraith, son of the famed economist, is in line to reap $100 million dollars -- maybe more -- from contracts between a Norwegian oil company and the autonomous Kurdish region of Iraq.
Iraq & Afghan Wars: Just Give Me Some Truth
Kudos, at long last, to Alissa Rubin for having the courage to say she was wrong. Here's hoping she and others in the Kabul class of 2009 will do better in the future in Afghanistan.
War Dead and Differential Grief
This year we have lost a total of 429 soldiers, an average of 1.2 per day, every day of the year, or the equivalent of a Ford Hood every 11 days. We should all ponder that.
Veterans: Casualties of the Drug War
It's a sad day in America when, instead of being offered compassion and treatment, veterans struggling with substance abuse and PTSD as a result of their service are locked up for these conditions.

The inadequacy of the VA and a majority of military doctors in theater that fail to diagnose or misdiagnose is at the crux of the soldiers diagnosed with rare, advanced cancers.
The Fort Hood Killer and PTSD
No, the alleged killer did not have combat-induced Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. But he did treat men and women with PTSD, and that is a major issue that hardly anyone has discussed.

America's support for veterans should not stop at the airport gate. How our nation treats its returning veterans says a lot about our gratitude for their service.
Our Veterans Deserve Our Thanks and Our Service
The way we care for our veterans is a reflection of our society. We cannot neglect them in their own time of need, as we did following the Vietnam War.

Regardless of one's views on the war, it is important to appreciate the service of those in uniform. We are a fortunate country to have such brave and patriotic troops to protect our freedoms.
