The Chance for Peace

On August 31, the War in Afghanistan – a war that has been going on for nearly our entire adult lives – came to an end, at least officially. We discuss the ramifications of twenty years of war and how different political entities worldwide are exploiting the situation. We situate Afghanistan in the history of other quagmire wars – Vietnam, Iraq – and revising Eisenhower's 1953 speech on the military-industrial complex, "A Chance for Peace", a prescient warning which would today be reviled as radical.
