Tonight, while on the elliptical on the gym, I watched the PBS program "Frontline." This week's report, called "Obama's War," was about our eight-year war in Afghanistan.
The report was good food for thought. It was certainly good to learn more about how the U.S. troops interact with the Afghan people.
My only immediate criticism of "Obama's War" was the lack of mention of the current status of women in Afghanistan -- and what the U.S. troop presence means for those women.

I thought the documentary was excellent. However, it was chilling to see the difficult decisions and sacrifices that must be made to have even an outside chance of a stable Afghanistan. Unfortunately, the situation looks bleak, in my opinion, and we must seriously re-evaluate the cost-reward of staying there after eight years of stalemate.
