Today on Meet the Bloggers at 1pm ET, Rachel Maddow will lead a substantive, issues-based discussion on the critical issue of Afghanistan. We will hear different progressive points of view from hosts Cenk Uygur and David Dayen, and featured bloggers Roberto Lovato, Baratunde Thurston, and Liliana Segura. But we will NOT accept the viewpoint that the only solution to the situation in Afghanistan is a military one.
As the saying goes, if your only tool is a hammer, all problems appear to be nails.
At this early stage, there is a vital need to hear and explore the complexity of Afghanistan; the history of occupations in the country; and the nature of terrorism versus tribal battles. I am pleased that we at Brave New Foundation are able to highlight and explore these issues in a way that is not being done, and with voices that are smart, articulate, and passionate. Join us at 1pm ET, and submit your comments to our guests.
Yours,
Robert Greenwald, Leighton Woodhouse, Paris Marron
and the Brave New team
