Documentary presents debates on war in Afghanistan

Opposition to the Afghanistan conflict is growing, according to several public opinion polls.

The Six O'Clock series attempted to tap into that opposition by presenting "Rethinking Afghanistan" Monday at the HUB Ohio Room.

Indiana resident Anna Kolsar presented "Rethink Afghanistan," a documentary by Robert Greenwald and held a panel discussion with Francine Porter of CODEPINK Pittsburgh and Pete Shell of the Thomas Merton Center Anti-War Committee, which is in Pittsburgh.

"You need to be aware that there's always more than one way to look at things," Kolsar said at the beginning of her presentation.

The documentary outlined the downsides to the Unite State's presence in Afghanistan. The film included insight and opinions of international leaders, U.S. Democratic leaders and citizens of the affected Middle Eastern countries.

This war is three times more expensive than any war in history, costing about $775,000 per U.S. troop being sent to the Middle East, according to Barbara Starr, CNN's Pentagon correspondent.
