A little over a year has passed since the United States began bombing Afghanistan in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001. Today Afghanistan is being held up as a successful example of US intervention. But close examination of the facts suggests that Afghans have paid a very high price for freedom from the Taliban.
Featured speakers include KPFK Morning Show host Sonali Kolhatkar; Ban Al Wardi, who will speak on Afghanistan and Iraq; Neesha Mirchandani, who will speak on indigenous women's movements in Afghanistan including RAWA; and Prof. Marc Herold who wrote the famous essay documenting the number of Afghan civilian casualities due to the U.S. military's bombing.
