Robert Greenwald's Rethink Afghanistan is appropriately named. Not "Abandon," or "Destroy," or "Remove the Taliban From" or "Liberate," but "Rethink."
US veterans of the Iraq and Afghan conflicts, former CIA agents, current Afghani men and women, former Soviet military leaders who were defeated in Afghanistan, and others paint a bleak picture for any chance of military success.
The documentary clarifies the identities and missions of the Taliban and Al Qaeda, and raises some serious questions and offers some prospective answers to the most effective approaches for combatting terrorists, if, in fact, that is the purpose for our presence in Afghanistan and around the world.
The documentary is available online in 6 segments, approximately 12 minutes each, and also as a DVD.
Highly recommended if (re)thinking is something you find valuable.
