| Largely seen as the breeding ground of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Afghanistan has had an historically troubled relationship with its neighbor to the south. Cultural and relitious tensions have largely defined these two powers, but with modern and nuclear weaponry in the region, the cost of tension and conflict between these two countries elevate the urgency for a diplomatic solution. Join us for this fascinating discussion. | |||||
