Paul Rogers: Afghanistans lost decade

Professor Paul Rogers, Professor of Peace Studies at the Department of Peace Studies, University of Bradford, outlines how the roots of Afghanistan's war lie in the warped reaction to 9/11. Its lesson is the final end of the colonial era. But it could yet last a further decade, sealing the failure of the Barack Obama presidency.

This briefing is based on a paper titled Afghanistans Lost Decade available from Open Democracy: http://www.opendemocracy.net/article/afghanistan-s-lost-decade
