Counterpoint | Rory Stewart on Afghanistan

Author of The Places in Between (and CSIS Ladies Book Club favorite) Rory Stewart weighs in on exactly what it is we're doing in Afghanistan, in this issue of Time. Countering the conventional wisdom of more troops + more money = a better Afghanistan, Stewart recommends a number of softer, more targeted approaches and points out that it is the Afghans alone who can really create their own nation.
