The Afghanistan/Pakistan Puzzle
It is widely acknowledged that we are losing the war in Afghanistan. Is the solution more troops or a political one using negotiation, alliances and aid? What has life been like for the Afghan people since the occupation? Can we or they afford 7 more years of fighting? As the Obama administration is seeking it’s own strategy how can we be effective advocates for peace? These questions and others will be addressed at this timely forum. 
UJP is a co-sponsor of the Event which is organized by the May 1st Coalition of Chelsea, East Boston and Everett.
