Listen "Peter Galbraith, in which we don't end up talking about the Prime Directive, on What Went Wrong in Afghanistan (and Who's to Blame)"

Episode Synopsis

John and Special Guest Co-host Maryscott O'Connor break out of OWC's usual paradigm for an in-depth discussion with Author, Scholar, and Diplomat Peter Galbraith. From the perspective of his own involvement in the interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq, Peter shares his uniquely qualified analysis of what went wrong, and what an ethical foreign intervention should look like. (Yes, we were originally going to discuss the Prime Directive, but the universe had other ideas).
