The Emptying of Baalbek Is a Moment to Take Stock
“Large numbers of people continue to flee their homes every day, as Israel’s military operations in Lebanon have been going on unabated.” These disturbing words could be from almost any news report about Israel’s invasion of its northern neighbour over the past month. However, they can be found in a report by the Norwegian Refugee Council’s Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre issued on July 27, 2006.

A Future Without Hezbollah
At the end of September, when Israel’s campaign to destroy Hezbollah was reaching its height, I met one of the group’s supporters in a seaside café in western Beirut. He was a middle-aged man with a thin white beard and the spent look of someone who had not slept for days. He was an academic of sorts, not a fighter, but his ties to Hezbollah were deep and long-standing.

Study Links Low Dose of Aspirin to Skull Bleeding
A low dose of aspirin can increase the risk of bleeding in the skull, a new report has revealed.
A study, published in the journal JAMA Neurology, examined 130,000 people, aged between 42 and 74, with no medical history of heart disease or stroke.
The experiment showed that people who took placebo had a 0.46% risk of suffering a head bleed during the combined trial periods, whereas those who took low-dose aspirin had a higher risk of 0.63%. This rate is the equivalent of an additional two people being at risk out of every 1,000.
"Clinicians should be very selective in prescribing aspirin for people without known cardiovascular disease," Johns Hopkins cardiologist Dr. Roger Blumenthal said in a statement.
"It's much more important to optimize lifestyle habits and control blood pressure and cholesterol as opposed to recommending aspirin.”
"Aspirin should be limited to people at the highest risk of cardiovascular disease and a very low risk of bleeding," he added.
