This week marks the tenth anniversary of the invasion of Afghanistan by the US and its allies--and the country is in shambles and conflict rages. Award-winning journalist Jonathan Steele, who has reported from Afghanistan for thirty years, discusses how the United States has ignored the lessons from the Soviet occupation of that country. And he argues that the US needs to negotiate a settlement and exit entirely, rather than leaving advisors behind.
