Synopsis

Afghanistan: The Perfect Failure, shatters the myth that the war in Afghanistan is the "good war". There is nothing good about this war. Afghanistan is riddled with corruption, from top to bottom. Official corruption, fueled by the unchecked opium trade, is what's killing Afghanistan, not the Taliban - not al Qaeda. At best, the Taliban represents a third-rate insurgency. However, a coalition of well-meaning nations is contributing billions of dollars and thousands of soldiers fighting the wrong enemy in the wrong way.
