WSJL Leaving Afghanistan the Right Way

Wall Street Journal (2/10/21 ([link removed]) )

This week on CounterSpin: Media are soberly reporting ([link removed]) a congressional panel's warning against an "abrupt" or "precipitous" withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, because that might lead to "civil war" in the country. If "spinning in the grave" imagery were real, George Orwell will have screwed himself to the Earth's core by now. The rest of us can try and puzzle out what's behind the "more war will lead to peace" argument with Phyllis Bennis, director of the New Internationalism project ([link removed]) at the Institute for Policy Studies ([link removed]) , and co-author of Ending the US War in Afghanistan: A Primer.

We hear from Hyun Lee, US national organizer for Women Cross DMZ ([link removed]) ; they're part of the coalition Korea Peace Now! that's behind a new report ([link removed]) called Path to Peace.
