Aging Issues in Saudi Arabia Health System. The second tier of the health system provides specialized health care services located mostly in urbanized areas. This along with Military Hospitals including the Saudi Arabian National Guard (SANG) which provide medical services to the armed forces and their families, make up the healthcare system of Saudi Arabia. Other government agencies include referral hospitals in the tertiary sectors such as King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre, for which, again, the government pays for when a patient goes there for specialized treatment. Although the private and military hospitals provide services only to their employees and their families, they may provide medical treatment to all in emergency situations, e.g. the outbreak of an epidemic.

Religious Field Research – Interview with a Mormon Introduction There are many myths and misunderstandings about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints – also known as Mormonism – that are based in many cases on a lack of knowledge. The misunderstandings are also the result of the fact that the Mormon faith is – to the traditional Protestant, or Catholic, or Muslim or Buddhist or Jew – somewhat mysterious. Perhaps the Mormon faith is mysterious because it is so very different from other faiths. When there are misunderstandings about a particular philosophy or religious practice myths and even hateful stereotypes can emerge from society. In this paper some of the most common misconceptions and misunderstandings will be presented along with an interview with a Mormon, a person that will respond to questions and be authoritative in his responses.

Washington Rules: America's Path to Permanent War Washington rules: America's path to permanent war is an indictment of the Washington consensus that positions the U.S. as the World's Big Brother and Policeman. Commencing with the Truman Administration, Bacevich traces the birth, development and maintenance of the Washington consensus built on a credo in which the United States alone must "lead, save, liberate, and ultimately transform the world," along with the "trinity" of global military presence, global power projection and global interventionism. Based on these two elements of credo and trinity, along with the complacency of the American people, the United States has spread its military might around the globe in a so-called "flexible response" thrusting us "into a condition approximating perpetual war" that is costing the country dearly in human and nonhuman resources. Bacevich then suggests solutions in the form of a new credo in which the United States becomes a model of the ideals set forth in our Constitution and Declaration of Independence. He also suggests a new trinity in which America shifts from: a large professional military constantly prepared for war to more of a citizen-warrior force; use of our military for world domination to use of the military for defense and vital interests only; global occupation to withdrawal from areas in which the cost clearly outweighs the benefit. Bacevich's book is widely praised, though problems have been noted. Though chiefly praising Bacevich's book, Gary J. Bass takes issue with: at least one of Bacevich's severe analogies between our policymakers and possibly Hitler; Bacevich's exclusion of examples in which American leaders and the American public acted against the foregone conclusion of the Washington consensus. Gerard De Groot also praises Bacevich's book but believes that Bacevich's belief that the American public can change the current situation is too optimistic. In addition to the criticisms posed by Bass and De Groot, it appears that Bacevich's suggestion of eliminating our large, well-armed professional military is an invitation to a disaster that we were fortunate to miss during World War II. Finally, Bacevich's suggestion of defense-only and vital interest-only use of our military raises significant issues about what constitutes "defense" and "vital interest," as well as the important issue of who will decide what constitutes "defense" and "vital interest." In sum, Bacevich's book raises important perspectives and historical examples that compel the reader to examine and challenge the current Washington consensus; however, the book is also somewhat flawed and/or incomplete.
