Ten Years of War on Afghanistan: The Real Impact, Here and There

Talk by Richard Becker. While there continue to be unanswered questions about the official story of 9-11, what is clear are the devastating impacts of this decade of war on the people of Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and the non-wealthy citizens of this country. Although President Obama and other top officials talk about “progress” and “draw down,” Afghan civilian and U.S. military casualties are at the highest levels yet, and the war in Afghanistan alone costs $330,000,000 per day. Join us for a presentation and discussion of these disasters and what we can do now.
