  • Remember Operation Enduring Freedom?

    When the U.S. set out to topple the Taliban, the Bush administration said it was dealing out "infinite justice" and later "enduring freedom" -- not just for American citizens, but for the people of Afghanistan, too. About a year later, with the U.S. anxious to shift the focus to Iraq, Afghan president Hamid Karzai still struggles to control stubborn warlords and extend government rule beyond the capital city of Kabul. Today we look at nation-building and regime change with Ahmed Rashid. Also on the show, why your average Chop Suey doesn't cut it.
