Older Vietnamese Americans Suffer Higher Rate of Mental Health Problems

clipper's remarks: "Huynh said Vietnamese Americans are wary of seeking help for mental problems because it is seen as taboo and is rarely spoken about.

"It's a struggle," she said. "Seeking help is more of a last resort. They don't do it until they feel so helpless that they don't know where else to go.""

Vietnamese Americans who came to the United States as political refugees are suffering from higher rates of mental health problems than non-Latino whites, an indication that many Vietnamese Americans are experiencing lingering effects from the Vietnam War, according to a UC Irvine Center for Health Care Policy study.

In the first analysis of its kind for Vietnamese Americans in California, researchers found that Vietnamese Americans over 55 were twice as likely as whites to report needing mental health care, but were less likely to discuss such issues with their doctors.

In general, Vietnamese Americans have assimilated quickly in the United States and have achieved success in business, education and politics. The study offers a contrasting view of the tough adjustments refugees have endured.

Many Vietnamese American refugees are suffering from problems related to traumatic experiences fleeing the Communist government after the 1975 fall of Saigon

Iraq Reacts to US Spying Allegation

clipper's remarks: Is there anyone the Bush administration isn't spying on?

This reminds me of the time they spied on diplomats at the UN. These people are seriously and dangerously paranoid. Then, as now, the spying caused more problems than it solved. This is pretty much the definition of a disorder.

The Iraqi government reacted sharply Friday to published allegations that the U.S. spied on Iraq's prime minister, warning that future ties with the United States could be in jeopardy if the report were true.

The allegations appear by a new book, "The War Within: A Secret White House History, 2006-2008," by journalist Bob Woodward, who writes that the United States spied extensively on Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, his staff and other government officials.

The report emerged as the two governments are in delicate negotiations over the future of American troops in Iraq. Those talks have already extended past their July 31 deadline and have drawn sharp criticism from Iraqis who want an end to the U.S. presence.

Critics may well use the allegation to step up pressure on the government not to sign a deal or hold out for the most favorable terms.

This decision is not worthy of a great power. Whatever skills Palin may turn out to have, however fabulous a person she may turn out to be, even if she becomes the Eva Peron of Christianism, McCain

had no idea when he picked her

John McCain has demonstrated with this insane decision that he is unfit to be president of the United States. This was an act of near-criminal negligence. If he can behave this recklessly and impulsively with this decision, the idea of allowing him to become president of the United States is only a smidgen less terrifying than thinking of Palin in that position.

He winged this. That's the critical, unavoidable, devastating point.

Whatever few doubts I may once have still had about this election, they are resolved now.

Obama has to win. The alternative is unthinkable.

Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Tymoshenko carried on negotiations with Vice President of the United States Richard Cheney. A tête-à-tête meeting lasted more as it was scheduled. Enlarged negotiations of the Ukrainian-American sides also took place.

The sides positively estimated cooperation between Ukraine and the USA. Yulia Tymoshenko noted that during the visit of President of the United States to Kyiv in April this year George W. Bush could make sure that Ukraine is a democratic country.

The Prime Minister of Ukraine informed about positive results of democratic Government’s work which during 8 months had provided high economic growth rates.

The meeting also concerned discussion of regional security, retaining stability in Ukraine and in the region, diversification of energy carriers’ sources.

The US Vice President stated in his turn that his country supports European and Euro-Atlantic integration of Ukraine and emphasized the importance of retaining political stability in Ukraine.

Cheney Backs Membership in NATO for Georgia

TBILISI, Georgia — Vice President Dick Cheney flew here on Thursday to deliver a forceful American pledge to rebuild Georgia and its economy, to preserve its sovereignty and its territory and to bring it into the NATO alliance in defiance of Russia.

Vice President Dick Cheney and Georgia's president, Mikheil Saakashvili, met U.S. soldiers delivering humanitarian aid in Tbilisi Thursday.

He arrived a day after the United States pledged $1 billion to help Georgia recover from its defeat by Russia’s armed forces, which continue to control two breakaway regions, as well as buffer zones in Georgia.

Standing beside President Mikheil Saakashvili, Mr. Cheney said that the United States had strongly supported Georgia since protests in 2003 ushered a democratic government to power and that it would continue to do so despite Russia’s proclamations that Mr. Saakashvili’s government was illegitimate.

To counter Palin, Obama to dispatch female surrogates

Senator Barack Obama will increasingly lean on prominent Democratic women to undercut Governor Sarah Palin and Senator John McCain, dispatching Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to Florida on Monday and creating a rapid-response team to deploy female surrogates to battleground states, Obama advisers said on Thursday.

Clinton's campaign event in Florida, her first for Obama since the Democratic convention last month, will include a forceful response to the searing attacks and fresh burst of energy that Palin injected into the race with her convention speech on Wednesday night, Obama aides said.

With the McCain-Palin team courting undecided female voters, including some who backed Clinton in the Democratic primaries, Obama aides say they are counting on not only Clinton but also Democratic female governors to criticize their Alaskan counterpart, Palin — and, by extension, McCain — including Janet Napolitano of Arizona and Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas.

KIEV, Ukraine - U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney has pledged U.S. support for Ukraine following last month's war between neighboring Russia and Georgia.

Cheney says in remarks Friday that Ukrainians should be able to live "without the threat of tyranny, economic blackmail and military invasion or intimidation." He says the United States has a "deep and abiding interest" in Ukraine's security.

Cheney spoke after meeting with President Viktor Yushchenko. Cheney's visit to Ukraine and two other ex-Soviet republics signaled that the United States will continue cultivating close ties in the region.

That's even after Russia showed it was willing to use military force against countries along its border.

Cheney slams Russia over war against Georgia

TBILISI, Georgia - Demonstrating Washington's commitment to beleaguered Georgia, U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney flew in Thursday and condemned Russia for what he called an "illegitimate, unilateral attempt" to redraw Georgia's borders by force.

Speaking during a closely watched trip to this U.S.-allied South Caucasus nation, Cheney also assured Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili that the United States was "fully committed" to his country's efforts to join NATO.

"Georgia will be in our alliance," Cheney said.

One of the U.S. administration's most hawkish figures and a longtime critic of Russia, Cheney was visiting three ex-Soviet republics that are nervous about Moscow's intentions — Georgia, Azerbaijan and Ukraine.

His trip signaled to Moscow that the United States will continue to cultivate close ties with Georgia and its neighbors even after Russia showed it was not afraid to use its military against countries along its border.

U.S. waging battle of words on two very different fronts

Robert Salladay, Nanette Asimov, Chronicle Staff Writers

Tuesday, October 9, 2001

At 12:15 p.m. yesterday, as the United States bombed Afghanistan for a second day, a sequined Liza Minnelli took the stage at the White House to sing a song, moments after President Bush signed a Columbus Day proclamation.

The everything-is-normal image of calm resolution, punctuated by calls of patriotism and unity from the White House, were in sharp contrast to the images from halfway around the world -- angry anti-American mobs and fuzzy, green TV footage of bombs dropping.

The message at home is: We're doing the right thing, so carry on with your lives. And the message to Arab countries is: We're fighting terrorism, not Islam.

But no matter how many packaged meals the United States drops or how many assurances it gives that this isn't a war against Afghans, many in the Middle East remain unconvinced.

Cheney brings message of support to Georgia

BAKU (Reuters) - U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney said on Wednesday the United States had a "deep and abiding interest" in its allies' security in the Caucasus, while Russia said U.S. support for Georgia was stirring up instability.

The United States later announced $1 billion in aid for rebuilding Georgia after last month's five-day war with Russia, a move likely to further strain ties with Moscow.

On a visit to Azerbaijan, Cheney also said the United States must work with the oil-producing ex-Soviet republic to create additional energy export routes to Western markets.
