Humanitarian - Dr. Karen Woo



Dr. Karen Woo

Watched Restrepo last night. It's a documentary about U.S.soldiers fighting in one of the most remote and dangerous places in Afghanistan. Good film. Today, I read about a young woman who lost her life (she was killed) while providing humanitarian services to Afghan citizens.

Here are two links to a couple well written items telling her story. I look forward to viewing her film someday.

I wish I felt that peace in Afghanistan was at the top of the list for our government. It could be if we demanded it. It will be beyond tragic if Dr. Woo's sacrifice and the daily sacrifices of the men and women serving and who have served in Afghanistan and their families were for nothing.
