I watched Sarah Chayes interviewed by Bill Moyers the other night. I thought it was compelling and interesting insight into Afghanistan now. Especially significant are her explanations of the duality of progress in Afghanistan, her rebuttal of Wafa Sultan's argument of Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations" in regards to Western Civilization vs. Islam, and the corruption all too apparent in Afghanistan that American taxpayer money is largely going towards.
Do you agree with her assessments? Why or why not? Discuss (but not before watching the videos please ).
