FALK ON THE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN

Richard Falk, the Albert G. Milbank Professor Emeritus of International Law at Princeton University recently wrote a powerful essay for Aljazeera entitled, Why the Afghanistan War Wont End Soon. Falk's piece details America's collective lack of understanding regarding the dynamics of Afghanistan and our failure to recognize that military intervention is not the answer for achieving a lasting piece in that region and other places around the globe. It's a very thought-provoking piece and I'd urge everyone to read it. The article can be found at the following web address:
