Resolved: President Obama's plan for increasing troops in Afghanistan is in the United States' best interest.
This is, in my opinion one of the best topics we've had in a while. I'll put up more resources on the topic when I get and am able to analyze them.
Gretchen peters book, Seeds of Terror, is a great book for understanding the root of our problems in Afghanistan. She reveals secrets about corruption in the government and the drug trade that would prove invaluable to debaters planning on understanding this topic.
Another book that one might want to read EXCERPTS from is The Bear Came Over The Mountain by Lester W. Grau. The reason i say excerpts is because, unless you are a military history buff, this is a boring book. The book is a collection of Soviet military Vignettes with commentary. However, some of the lessons that you can learn from them can be used to point out the futility or effectiveness of US military tactics in Afghanistan.
This next video collection is fantastic for answering questions about Afghanistan. It is from the RAND corporation.I do not have the plug in so you will have to click on the link.
If you have any requests, suggestions, or input on the Topic... please leave a comment.
