What's at Stake in Afghanistan?

This week, the Bush Institute released a policy report detailing the perils of a rash withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan. Focusing on the meaningful gains Afghan people have made that are endangered without a U.S. presence, co-authors Farhat Popal and Chris Walsh introduced the paper and commented on the security issues consuming daily headlines on KERA’s THINK with Krys Boyd. And today, Bush Institute Executive Director Holly Kuzmich speaks on a panel at CSIS titled: "The Future of Afghanistan — Maintaining Peace (If it Comes)."
