On October 7th, 2001, less than a month after the attacks of September 11, American and British forces entered Afghanistan seeking to disrupt terrorist activities and capture members of al-Qaida. Nine years later we look back and reflect on one of the longest armed conflicts the U.S. has ever seen. Gideon Rose, editor of Foreign Affairs joins us for the hour.

Writer and photographer Ann Jones looks at the aftermath of wars and their impact on women. In 2007, the International Rescue Committee sent Jones to Africa, East Asia, and the Middle East, and she gave cameras to women to document how war had affected their lives. Her book War Is Not Over When It's Over: Women Speak Out from the Ruins of War, reveals the consequences of modern warfare for those most vulnerable.
