Nation Building Failed in Afghanistan

from The Political Orphanage · host Andrew Heaton, Jason Buttrill

Could we have fixed things if we stayed? Kabul fell to the Taliban on Sunday, which is quickly reorganizing their regime after getting ousted twenty years ago by the United States.   Was nation building an incomplete but worthwhile pursuit, or a never-ending fools errand?   Jason Buttrill served as an intelligence analyst in the invasion of Afghanistan, and discusses the nature of the country and what will happen to it.
