DESCRIPTION:Oct. 7th marks the anniversary of the day that the U.S. and British 
 launched a military offensive in Afghanistan. President Obama has expanded 
 the U.S. military presence there by 21,000. His military advisers want to 
 send even more troops and there is no exit strategy in sight. What is 
 really needed in Afghanistan? Has the U..S. presence there helped to halt 
 the resurgence of the Taliban or to fuel it? Stephen Zunes, will put the 
 conflict in historical perspective and speak to the issues involved.
