This July ICPJ is be hosting an on-line and in-person discussion of Ending the US War in Afghanistan: A Primer by David Wildman and Phyllis Bennis.

To participate, all you have to do is add your comments about the book below.

For the second week, we will discuss the pages 54-95 (section 3 and part of 4). You can also read the discussion from the first week’s reading.

Here are the questions to get you started, or comment on whatever interests  you!

1. How do you think the US should have handled its relations with Afghanistan during the Cold War? pg. 58
2. Did the US have the right to overthrow the Taliban and replace it with their chosen government? What should they have done? pg. 70
3. What do you believe we can and should do as US citizens when top military officials are saying the war in Afghanistan is no longer sustainable, yet the President isn’t listening? pg. 82
4. Do you support the decision of the US – a proudly democratic country -to support dictators, murderers and warlords to further its own agenda? pg. 87

We will also have a face-to-face discussion of the book on Monday, July 19 at 7:00 p.m. at Dominick’s (812 Monroe Street, Ann Arbor).

To get your copy, just call 734-663-1870 or email chuck@icpj.net. They are just $10 each (plus shipping and handling).

Stay tuned next Monday for the next section and next week’s questions.
