A letter from a reader in response to Ogden Rogers.

Dear Editor:

A reading of Ogden Rogers' article regarding "Social Work and the International Humanitarian Law:  Rights, Roles, and Responsibilities" in the "Journal of Social Work Values & Ethics," Vol. 5, Number 2 (2008), seems to show that the U.S. made all of the wrong choices going to war in Iraq.  What about Afghanistan?

The article sets a sound foundation for understanding the relationship between international law and social work. I would imagine that as a Red Cross member/worker, Dr. Rogers may have pretty strong views on U.S. foreign policy/policies, as well as "in country/U.S." policy/policies when it comes to humanitarian law(s), particularly from the social worker perspective.

I wonder about the differences/similarities between the thinking and actions of the social workers of yore compared with social workers of today. Bringing more discussion and incorporation of the principles of the Geneva Conventions into schools of social work makes sense.

Is there a follow-up article?

Thank you, Dr. Rogers.

Roma Mauro, RN, MSW
