Below is the Pakistan-focused second part of “Rethink Afghanistan,” a documentary by Robert Greenwald’s production company, Brave New Films.

The film presents a somewhat diverse spectrum of opinion on Pakistan as it pertains to the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan.  Its central and most compelling point, which is expressed most clearly at the end by Stephen Kinzer, is that winning the war in Afghanistan cannot be done at the expense of losing Pakistan. The stakes are far greater in the former country than in the latter.

There are some shortcomings.  There’s the barrage of stock video footage of enraged, bearded protesters that comes at the end.  Also, Steve Coll incorrectly suggests that there’s a singular Taliban (and contradicts his own recent writing).  Concerns about Pakistan’s nuclear weapons are overhyped. But the documentary is worth a look.
