Dr. Vijay Prashad on Obama's Foreign Policy

Comments

Intervention in Afghanistan is entirely military

On the civilian v military orientation of US policy in Afghanistn, perhaps a useful line of conversation would have been which is needed first in the sequence of situation normalization: security or development? If there is no physical security on the ground, how can civic institutions function? No doubt there are critiques to be had of development from the barrel of a gun. But Prashad does not make that critique. And the interviewer also failed to ask the difficult questions.
