President Obama has in mind for the war-torn country. JOURNAL
guest host Lynn Sherr sits down with Rory Stewart, who shares his
vision for a sustainable policy that could benefit both the United
States and Afghanistan, which he has called "the graveyard of
predictions." Rory Stewart is director of the Carr Center for Human
Rights Policy at Harvard University. In 2003, he was appointed as
the Coalition Provisional Authority deputy governor of two
provinces in Southern Iraq, and in 2005, he moved to Afghanistan,
where he founded the Turquoise Mountain Foundation, an NGO
dedicated to Afghan traditional crafts and the regeneration of the
historic commercial center of Kabul. Then, Sherr talks with Kavita
Ramdas, president and CEO of Global Fund for Women, on women's
human rights initiatives around the world.
