Simon Schama On Obama's America
9pm, BBC2
A typically magisterial survey of the Obama era so far by Simon Schama. He begins with the subject that has consumed much of the new president's first year on the job, and may yet define him: Afghanistan. Schama's preferred parallel is the Korean war, another conflict America entered professing altruistic aims, but exited with its nose bloodied. After nearly a decade of scrapping with the Taliban, no end is in sight; nor is any coherent idea of what a satisfactory end might resemble. Obama, elected an idealist, is less convincing as a prag-matist.
