Easing In: Soldiers Return from War

By Dan Gorenstein on Tuesday, October 2, 2007.

Members from the 36-43rd company from the New Hampshire National Guard returned from Iraq earlier this month.

But before troops were released to family, friends and vacation, General Kenneth Clark reminded them of their one final duty.

"We take soldiers from mobilization to reintegration. And reintegration means back to being a citizen with your family. I say to you...the mission is not over...I can’t wait to see you in the middle of the week. We’ll talk some more."

New Hampshire Public Radio’s Dan Gorenstein reports on the struggles troops have readjusting to life at home and the program that helps them do it.

Religion and Statecraft

By Laura Knoy on Tuesday, October 2, 2007.

Religion as a tool of international diplomacy! Our guest, scholar Douglas Johnston, says with religion a root cause of so many modern wars, it must also be a part of the solution. And yet, he says, our Western, secular approach toward diplomacy leads us to ignore the positive role faith can play in conflict resolution. He calls it “the missing dimension” of our foreign policy.

Guest

  • Douglas Johnston: president and founder of the International Center for Religion and Diplomacy. He led the seven year study that produced the book Religion, The Missing Dimension of Statecraft and was previously the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Sports and Politics

By Liz Bulkley on Tuesday, October 2, 2007.

There was a time when people read the sports page to find out what's been happening on the field, court or diamond. These days, though, lots of sports news takes place in courtrooms, boardrooms, and the halls of congress. That's the topic of Dave Zirin's new book, Welcome to the Terrordome. Tonight on the Front Porch, we'll talk with him about the intersection of sports, politics and culture, from ongoing steroid scandals and Michael Vick's dog fights to racism in the major leagues.
