Here And There With Dave Marash

Leon Panetta, one of the politicians most tied to the war in Afghanistan said, as the US withdrew its troops...you can leave a battlefield but not the war on terrorism.  David Bromwich columnist for The Nation and Professor of Literature at Yale University says Panetta is significantly wrong on both points. Reducing a country to a battlefield is a losing strategy, he says, and adopting strategies of warfare to combat terrorism has largely failed as well.
