	Harvard Gazette: Kouchner: Iraqi voices remain unheard
		Kouchner, a visiting professor at the Harvard School of Public Health and a fellow at the François-Xavier Bagnoud Center for Health and Human Rights, squarely straddled the line between war and peace Friday (March 14) during a speech before several hundred in a packed Snyder Auditorium.
		Kouchner described victims of the 1988 Iraqi gas attacks on Kurdish villages, the piles of bodies left after Iraqi troops machine-gunned a crowd from helicopters, and described the continuing stream of refugees from razed villages in Hussein-controlled Iraq into the independently run Kurdish zone in the north.
		Kouchner was also critical of peace protests, saying he supported their goals but that they were forgetting Hussein's brutality.

		Bernard Kouchner has played two roles his whole life, allowing them to intermingle according to need: a humanitarian of world renown who visited every crisis spot in the world and a leftist leaning politician who almost constantly, though not always smoothly, made gains on the French political scene.
