Can the US Rethink Afghanistan?

The spotlight's on Afghanistan but are we asking the right questions? Even though the declining popularity of the war has been widely cited, very few are talking about withdrawal or seriously rethinking the US role in the region. That is unless you turn to the independent press. Robert Greenwald of Brave New Films has released several installments of his series, Rethink Afghanistan, over the last several months calling for a different kind of dialogue. The film opens as a full-length feature in NY and Washington, D.C. this week.

    • I absolutely agree with the message Brave News sends out. We should pull the troops out and send much more foreign aid or foreign investment. You don't get rid of poverty by bombing it, you get rid of it by giving them skills and jobs and life they can appreciate. Thanks grit tv

    • Pull out the troops. We have already won. The goal was to displace the Taliban. We did that. If they retake power we can knock them out of it again.

      Dems who support this administration, please make your opinions known to the President! This is getting worse by the day.

    • Investigate 9/11 and we will find out who truly brought down the towers. Until we answer that question, there is no justification for a war.
