Time to End the War in Afghanistan
Ten years ago in the wake of the 9/11 attacks on the United States, Rory Stewart, now a Conservative Party member of the British Parliament, walked across Afghanistan. That journey produced a book called The Places in Between. Stewart spoke at this month's TEDGlobal2011, the annual global conference in Edinburgh, UK by the nonprofit, TED (Technology Entertainment Design) an organization dedicated to "spreading good ideas." Stewart's TED talk was titled, "Time to End the War in Afghanistan." He speaks boldly and compellingly. This is certainly 20 minutes worthy of your time.
