Synopsis | Afghanistan By Jovanka J. Milivojevic - Video
In his new book The Good War, Jack Fairweather writes that the war in Afghanistan could turn out to be the defining tragedy of the 21st century. (thegoodwar.com)
In his State Of The Union address, President Obama touted the end of the U.S. combat mission in Afghanistan, but a new book says it could turn out to be the defining tragedy of the 21st century.
If the West can help that police officer and that Taliban teenager find common ground, thats where the future lies.
Tracing the conflict from 9/11 to the American drawdown at the end of 2014, The Good War: Why We Couldnt Win the War or the Peace in Afghanistan refutes the argument that the war could have been won with more boots on the ground. (Read an excerpt below.)
Despite the gloomy description of this history, the book ends on an optimistic note, saying there has been progress in Afghanistan in the last 13 years and there is hope for the future.
Author and war correspondent Jack Fairweathertalks with Here & Nows Robin Young about his new book and what it suggests about the memory of the war in American history.
What is the Good War?
On the one hand, the good war was the effort to get rid of al-Qaida and remove that threat that had led to 9/11. On the other hand, it was the effort to rebuild Afghanistan, a country shattered by 20 years of war, since the Soviet occupation in the 1970s.

How 'The Good War' In Afghanistan Went Bad

HERAT, Afghanistan At least 20,000 people protested in the western Afghan city of Herat on Friday, January 23, against French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo for publishing a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed.
The demonstrators burned French flags, chanted death slogans against France and demanded Paris apologize to Muslims in Afghanistan's biggest rally yet against the weekly.
A smaller protest was held in the capital Kabul, where a few demonstrators threw stones at the French embassy, prompting guards to fire one or two warning shots.
"No Muslim can tolerate insults to our beloved prophet Mohammed, we demand the French government apologize to all Muslims and punish those who have insulted Islam," said one protester in Herat.
There have been small, sporadic protests across Afghanistan since the magazine ran a cover image of the prophet with a tear in his eye, holding a sign saying "Je suis Charlie".
That "survivors' edition" followed an attack on the magazine's offices in Paris in which 12 people were gunned down by Islamist militants. The massacre triggered a huge outpouring of anger and grief on social media, much of it using the hashtag #jusuisCharlie."
An Agence France-Presse reporter at the scene in Herat and the provincial governor's spokesman Ehsanullah Hayat said the crowd was at least 20,000 strong.
In Kabul, several thousand people rallied in the city centre chanting "death to France, death to the enemies of Islam".
