In today's episode, our host David Walker will tell us about Afghanistan. Everyone has somehow grown accustomed to the fact that there is always war in Afghanistan.

Except for brief periods, Afghanistan has been at war almost continuously. So why has this country become one of the hottest spots on the planet? Why does eternal war rage on Afghan soil? And who benefits from the constant instability in this region?
