Season 3, Episode 6, Part 2: A disaster in Afghanistan

from On the Fringe · host Dave and Gavin

Here is part 2 of the episode.We curl up next to our Ouija boards and slap on our thinking caps (we will never tell you if they’re made out of tin foil though!) and dive into the implications of giving aid, the unique moral hazard in this situation of coming to the aid of local Afghans when they need it most, and what might come out of this messy situation.If you are watching the region, don’t miss this episode that ties together a LOT of things that your usual diet of news and media misses.If you want to tell us about your dog, or tell us we’re right on the money, missed something or are totally off base, shoot us a message, and don't forget to review. The map of Afghanistan in is from Wikimedia, and was created by The Map Lurker.
