Tomorrow, the Cato Institute will be holding a half-day conference titled, “Escalate or Withdraw? Conservatives and the War in Afghanistan.”


One of the many speakers at tomorrow’s conference will be Rep. John Duncan (R‑TN). On the House floor this week, he explained why “there is nothing conservative about the war in Afghanistan.”


Watch:

In the interest of full disclosure, I am not a conservative, and neither are many of my Cato colleagues. This event is intended to highlight that leaving Afghanistan is far beyond Left vs. Right, and that anti-war sentiment is not “owned by peaceniks and pacifists.”


You can come to the event, or watch it live online.
