Robert Darr on Afghanistan
Listen to "Robert Darr on Afghanistan"
Robert Darr has traveled to and from Afghanistan for thirty years and speaks the local languages. His perspective is based on, as we say, "facts on the ground"...the actual, human, day-to-day facts, not those sold by the mindset who brought Afghanistan the Durand Line. Nor the mindset that claims to bring western-style democracy to a region that has had its own style of indigenous democratic process for centuries.
