It Has to Start With Them
"Thomas Friedman sounds so convincing and logical in this article. That is the art of a good writing. But he is not half as convincing for those who have read him regularly. I still remember his interview when the Iraq war was being semi-debated in the U.S. Asked if he was for or against the war, he thought and thought and then declared that he was "51% for it." The play acting was put on to show the audience that this was not an easy position for him to take, and that he had really agonized over it. The sheer cynicism of it was so obvious and dripping that one could have got a cup and collected some of it, and given it to the Smithsonian to be preserved as the ooze of the majority main press hypocrisy then afflicting the land of the free.
This led to the death of a million innocent Iraqis, uprooting of four million more, and the dismemberment and devastation of their country–this extra one percent that tipped the balance in favour of a war for which there was no justification whatever. And of course these very people are now blaming all and sundry for the explosion of terrorism in Iraq, indeed anyone but the war mongers!
And now Friedman seems so sensible. And in trying to be this, he is asserting that foreign troops is not the answer to sort out internal problems of a country, but the people of the such countries can sort them out when they have the will to do so. Among the many examples of indigenous movements, he cites one is Afghanistan, and goes on to say: the " Taliban regime in Afghanistan was routed by Afghan rebels, backed ONLY by U.S air power and a few hundred U.S special forces."
Because this suits the central thesis of his argument, he fails to say that without this U.S air support [which he emphasizes as "only" and special forces, these so called rebels [thoroughly discredited war lords] did not have a hope in hell of succeeding. He completely ignores the fact that if these rebels had had genuine success, they would not need ten years of American presence to keep this success propped up. And this, for you, is journalism at its best!!"
WHEN President Obama announced his decision to surge more troops into Afghanistan in 2009, I argued that it could succeed if three things happened: Pakistan became a different country, President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan became a different man and we succeeded at doing exactly what we claim not to be doing, that is nation-building in Afghanistan. None of that has happened, which is why I still believe our options in Afghanistan are: lose early, lose late, lose big or lose small. I vote for early and small.
My wariness about Afghanistan comes from asking these three questions: When does the Middle East make you happy? How did the cold war end? What would Ronald Reagan do? Let's look at all three.
When did the Middle East make us happiest in the last few decades? That's easy: 1) when Anwar el-Sadat made his breakthrough visit to Jerusalem; 2) when the Sunni uprising in Iraq against the pro-Al Qaeda forces turned the tide there; 3) when the Taliban regime in Afghanistan was routed in 2001 by Afghan rebels, backed only by U.S. air power and a few hundred U.S. special forces; 4) when Israelis and Palestinians drafted a secret peace accord in Oslo; 5) when the Green Revolution happened in Iran; 6) when the Cedar Revolution erupted in Lebanon; 7) when the democracy uprisings in Tunisia, Libya, Yemen, Syria and Egypt emerged; 8) when Israel unilaterally withdrew from South Lebanon and Gaza.
And what do they all have in common? America had nothing to do with almost all of them. They were self-propelled by the people themselves; we did not see them coming; and most of them didn't cost us a dime.
And what does that tell you? The most important truth about the Middle East: It only puts a smile on your face when it starts with them. If it doesn't start with them, if they don't have ownership of a new peace initiative, a battle or a struggle for good governance, no amount of U.S. troops kick-starting, cajoling or doling out money can make it work. And if it does start with them, they really don't need or want us around for very long.
When people own an initiative – as the original Afghan coalition that toppled the Taliban government did, as the Egyptians in Tahrir Square did, as the Egyptian and Israeli peacemakers did – they will be self-propelled and U.S. help can be an effective multiplier. When they don't want to own it – in Afghanistan's case, decent governance – or when they think we want some outcome more than they do, they will be happy to hold our coats, shake us down and sell us the same carpet over and over.
As for how the cold war ended, that's easy. It ended when the two governments – the Soviet Union and Maoist China, which provided the funding and ideology propelling our enemies – collapsed. China had a peaceful internal transformation from Maoist Communism to capitalism, and the Soviet Union had a messy move from Marxism to capitalism. End of cold war.
Since then, we have increasingly found ourselves at war with another global movement: radical jihadist Islam. It is fed by money and ideology coming out of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Iran. The attack of 9/11 was basically a joint operation by Saudi and Pakistani nationals. The Marine and American Embassy bombings in Lebanon were believed to have been the work of Iranian agents. Yet we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, because Saudi Arabia had oil, Pakistan had nukes and Iran was too big. We hoped that this war-by-bank-shot would lead to changes in all three countries. So far, it has not.
Until we break the combination of mosque, money and power in Iran, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, which fuel jihadism, all we're doing in Afghanistan is fighting the symptoms. The true engines propelling radical jihadist violence will still be in place. But that break requires, for starters, a new U.S. energy policy. Oh, well.
George Will pointed out that Senator John McCain, a hawk on Libya and Afghanistan, asked last Sunday, "I wonder what Ronald Reagan would be saying today?" with the clear implication that Reagan would never leave wars like Libya or Afghanistan unfinished. I actually know the answer to that question. I was there.
On Feb. 25, 1984, I stood on the tarmac at the Beirut airport and watched as a parade of Marine amphibious vehicles drove right down the runway, then veered off and crossed the white sand beach, slipped into the Mediterranean and motored out of Lebanon to their mother ship.
After a suicide bomber killed 241 U.S. military personnel, Reagan realized that he was in the middle of a civil war, with an undefined objective and an elusive enemy, whose defeat was not worth the sacrifice. So he cut his losses and just walked away. He was warned of dire consequences; after all, this was the middle of the cold war with a nuclear-armed Soviet Union. We would look weak. But Reagan thought we would get weak by staying.As Reagan deftly put it at the time: "We are not bugging out. We are moving to deploy into a more defensive position."
Eight years later, the Soviet Union was in the dustbin of history, America was ascendant and Lebanon, God love the place, was still trying to sort itself out – without us.

More card play
However, they don't seem to me like the end of the road for this year and I may well get bored with repeating the same design many, many times so there may be others to follow. I will blog them if they seem like they might be interesting.
How did I make them? I printed the papers with acrylic paint, a roller and a print block, then tore and stuck the shapes. A simple punch cutter gave me the star, I added the greeting and here they are ... very simple but perhaps that's their appeal ... for now ...

I like the elegant simplicity. It certainly does not feel like the end of the year for me either - and yet people are buying Christmas trees in November!ReplyDeleteReplies
And round here, lots of leaves still on beech, oak and sycamore trees in glorious colour - not like early winter at all. Perhaps that's why I've found it hard to get Christmas inspiration this year. I'm seasonally confused like the wildlife.Delete
They're lovely. And how nice that each is a bit different from the others.ReplyDeleteReplies
Many thanks to you, Connie - each individually crafted which is why they have to be simple. I always mean to start in about September so I have time to do something more complicated. Perhaps next year ...Delete
Hello and thank you very much for taking the time to leave a message on my blog. Every comment is welcome and I will try to answer you as soon I can.

Unemployed writers and art directors approach me every week looking for jobs. Their experience levels range from new kids with just a few months in an agency to those having decades in the business. Here are a few tips that might help in the search.
* I get it already. I've seen lots of books. I see the work that goes through our shop every day. I stay on top of the industry. I don't need to see 20 or (worse) 30 ads to judge whether I think you have a clue or not. That impression will have begun to form with the first piece.
By the time we discuss three or four pieces, you'll have a rough position in my mind vs. other books and in relation to our current staff. After that, you're more likely to undo positive impressions than to shift negative ones.
Show me five or six good pieces in one category (print, TV, radio) and then move on.
* Beware of one-hit wonders. Seeing a few arresting, interesting ads is great. What's impressive is seeing two or three campaigns with more than one ad. It shows you understand how the work fits into a greater context, and demonstrates you can produce beyond the first idea. You can show me three campaigns of a few ads if they're good. (More than that? See above.)
* Who's the customer here? Five minutes on our Web site will tell you that at our agency, Nelson Schmidt, we're strategic marketers with a focus on branding; an integrated shop, not an ad shop. While you might be selling ads, ads, ads, we're buying ideas, ideas, ideas.
Round out your book with a 3-D mailing, some Web work, a stunning piece of collateral. Two or three per category will do. An integrated campaign is ideal.
* Easy equals unimpressive. Be assured I have already seen spec campaigns for 1) the local bondage store; 2) the barbecue restaurant with insanely spicy food; 3) Porsche.
If you need a little spec for your book, choose something potentially mundane-the kind of product most of us work on more often than we want to admit. Then bring it to life in a memorable campaign.
* Old is actually ancient. People say there is age discrimination in this industry, which may be true. Or is the real problem that the work we do ages so quickly?
In Rome, old is thousands of years. In advertising, it's 36 months. Unless it is absolutely killer or a sentimental favorite with a great story attached to it, don't show stuff more than a few years old. It will be littered with visual clues and verbal references that scream dated! The subtle message here is that you're showing pieces from 1993 because you haven't had any better ideas since.
* How many people will this room sleep? It may feel relaxed, but make no mistake; you are making a presentation. The interviewer judges what you say and how you say it. It doesn't mean you need canned shtick; it means you need to be able to explain what you did, why and what happened-quickly and clearly.
It helps to not be redundant. Forced is not good, but bright and interested work pretty well. If your explanations are so boring you're about to go to sleep, so am I.
* Perhaps I am an idiot. There's really no danger in keeping the presentation of your work quick, pointed and interesting. It's useless trying to convince me your work is great if I haven't quickly come to that conclusion on my own. I'll either like the work or I won't.
If I don't, blame it on me. Maybe you're so brilliant I just don't get it.
* Hello? Is anybody home? Listed here, then, are some things that have not endeared prospective hires to me:
-A request to meet at 10:30 a.m. instead of 9 a.m. because "I kind of have trouble getting up in the morning."
-Work in an art director's portfolio that was actually done by a friend of mine.
-Multiple typos in letters and resumes from writers. (It happens all the time.)
-A production artist telling me we would "have to pay a little more" because he didn't have a complete mastery of all the software programs and that learning them would be stressful.
Getting laid off stinks.
Finding a job right now can be tough. Remember, though, that you're selling yourself and your work.
If you do that well, there will be plenty of time for detailed discussions and follow-up. You're crazy not to do everything you can to put the odds in your favor.

I dont think the result of any antidepressant can be predicted, you have to try it for up to 6 weeks, with anxiety and depression, it may work for one, the other, both, or neither
I finally found the SSRI type helped a lot for my anxiety but have never found any AD that helps with my depression
ElishaCo~Mod: DepressionModerator: Heart & Cardiovascular Diseasehttp://www.healingwell.com/donate
Thanks for the info.
Sunnivara, let me just start here by saying I am a few credits away from my masters in psychology and I have worked in the mental health field (managing psychiatric care facilities) for over 11 yrs. I also have depression, anxiety/panic disorder and PTSD which is mostly due to my childhood. So, I do know a little about mental illness and the insight into it.
Just from what you have posted I wouldnt in anyway say that you are describing anti-social traits. Depression...yes, maybe some social anxiety disorder going on also but this can be very commen with depression and mostly with those that have had it long term.
It is extremely important that you have a psychiatrist to diagnose and prescribe medications for you. It very much sounds to me as if you have done all this "research" and now you feel that your qualified enough to tell your doctor what you want to take based on what you have read. Then are also looking for other diagnosis that may or may not be there...this is not productive nor mentally healthly for you.
You state that you dont have the time or energy to devote to CBT right now due to the depression. But you have energy to devote to posting on here about how depressed you are which I am sure takes up time and you do your research about depression and meds. All I am saying is that you have to take the step to decide your going to make yourself get better...It's not your depression kicking your arse, it's you kicking depression.
Medication may always be in the cards for you...I know it is for me to function. But so is counseling to learn the skills you need to know to cope with this on a daily basis. Make your appointments...Get Better
Wow. I thought this was a place I could come and share my feelings and ideas without criticism. I guess not. Where exactly did I say I knew it all and was going to tell my doctor what my diagnosis is or what medication I should be prescribed? I have every intention of asking my doctor what she thinks, and asking her who else I should see. My posts here are just for tossing out feelings and ideas to see if others have had similar experiences and what they think. Did you notice my previous post ended with questions? This means I'm just curious about these ideas, not making absolute conclusions. Since when is it mentally unhealthy to question things and explore ideas?
As for CBT, that requires a whole lot more energy and dedication than an occasional forum post, which I can do while at work on my coffee break. Are you saying changing my life with CBT is as easy as taking 5 minutes while sipping coffee to post in a forum? I wish!
Something to keep in mind....depressed people are often sensitive types. If you want to be a psychologist please try to word things in such a way that you do not put people on the defensive, as you have done here with me. You, of all people here, should know that criticising is the least effective way to get a positive response from someone. If you did not mean to criticize, I'm sorry. Then you just need to try to word things in such a way that it doesn't sound critical because, frankly, it did....the typical "get your $&!+ together" speech I've heard a hundred times in my life that's never worked.
I hope I don't p!$$ you off. That's not my intention. I realize that underneath all that you are only trying to help. But it bothered me and I felt I needed to say something.
Post Edited (Sunnivara) : 5/9/2007 11:19:32 PM (GMT-6)
Hey Sunnivara, I'm sorry if have offended you with my post that wasnt my intention at all. Your right that this site is for mutual support and understanding...which I have given to you. I know CBT is a lot of work that was why I suggested counseling with a thearpist. It is always your choice to decide to take another members advice/suggestions they give however, I have seen you ask lots of questions regarding meds and such yet not give any postive responses toward the feedback you have been given by those members. Granted, this is your right to do but you have been given lots of excellent advice here and on multiple threads might I add.
It is easy for people to get wording mixed up when reading typing or get a feel of what someone really means when posting in a forum situation. Perhaps I read you wrong and I am willing to concede that idea here. For example:
Everyone here is at differant stages of depression which always makes a big differance with perception. My post had nothing to do with telling you to get your crap together. Fact is that people with depression dont seek help until it has reached an all time high point or crisis if you will. We lack motivation to do anything other than what is necessary in life like work and eat. It is just going through the motions. I have been down in that dark hole so many times and each time it gets harder and harder to claw my way out. I had my PCP for the longest time prescribing my medications and I too had done my homework and gave suggestions on what I wanted to take and didnt. He always gave in or just wrote out the script. I always thought I knew what I was doing, was informed and I guess most of that was stupidity since I had my degree BS in psych. and work with these medications. I hit a hard spot in my life after I was diagnosed with my heart condition and my Zoloft stopped working for me. I didnt go to the doc for an increase as I was at max dosage so I figured I could wait it out see if it gets any better...how stupid is that?! It wont go away on it's own...lol! I ended up back in the hospital (heart related) and really that is what saved my life as to the depression because my PCP referred that a private Psychiatrist come to the hosp. and see me. He changed my meds straight off and I havent ever felt this good in my life. That was a year and half ago and my Psychiatrist had to force me into counseling for childhood abuse issues...we all carry something around with us. So no matter how much I thought I knew it turned out I didnt really.
I have strived to be supportive to everyone on this board and yeah, I am blunt and to the point which I wont appolize for, that is just me. I dont dance around with words. Critical I'm not as I have been there and know that at any one day I could be right back there and who know's how I would respond? I hope it would be better than I have in the past. Anyway, I do put alot of thought into what I write and how it is going to come across...the only thing is that I can not contol how someone may take it.

Names: Matt Jacobson(l.)and Danny Kwock
Ages: Jacobson-42, Kwock-43,
Who they are: Kwock is the president of Quiksilver Entertainment, the surf-apparel and youth lifestyle company's in-house branded entertainment unit, which was created in 2002. Jacobson is VP of Quiksilver Entertainment.
Where they're from: Kwock, a 25-year veteran of the company, is a native Hawaiian and ex-professional surfer. He also serves as exec VP-marketing for the flagship Quiksilver company in addition to his role at the entertainment unit. Prior to co-founding Quiksilver Entertainment, Jacobson served as CEO of Broadband Interactive Group. He also was a senior digital media executive at News Corp. and was an agent at Creative Artists Agency.
%%PULLQUOTE_RIGHT%% What they've done: They partnered with Fox Sports Net to create "54321," a daily action-sports news show. Quiksilver also played an integral role in MTV's "Surf Girls," a reality program involving a surfing contest sponsored by Quiksilver line Roxy. They've also signed with HarperCollins for the Luna Bay book series.
What's next: Having forged corporate partnerships with brands such as Sony and Snapple, the duo is actively pursuing an automotive company. "We can only handle five corporate partners; we're not going to go out and get 20 partners to underwrite what we do. We want to be their eyes and ears for the youth market while being able to leverage their budgets to get our message out of the monastery."
Stock-in-trade: "Entertainment is a critical component of our business so it's something that we can't outsource. It's our responsibility as the market leader to create projects that are platforms for the entire category because if it's just about Quiksilver, kids are going to call us on our bullshit right away."
