It would be if they were to stage another 9/11 style murder plot! Is the Taliban neutered against American now?

Seems disingenuous to be all twisted in a knot about finally exiting a no-win part of the earth destined to be ruled and oppressed by religious zealots for all eternity. Especially while remaining silent about the despot in Syria who has been brutally killing innocents daily.

Stop cheerleading for pedophilia, you sicko!
Marianne is cheering on pedophilia. She'd probably enjoy watching a bacha bazi dance. 😳

We essentially created a codependent welfare state making the people dependent on us to protect them from the Taliban while we took resources. We didn’t help them to be self sufficient &stronger against the Taliban! We had 20 years. I pray for the people and hope they can fight!

The Taliban will take care of the tyranny over there while Joe terrorizes us here. They got it all covered.

The war in #Afghanistan became unwinnable as soon as it turned into a war of occupation. The US puppets there have always been a corrupt and weak fighting force. America should stop wasting trillions of dollars & countless lives in such futile debacles. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

You would have handled this issue in a much more thoughtful and humane manner, Marianne. I ended up voting for Mayor Pete, but I appreciated your perspective on Afghanistan.

Marianne in shocked at this pro war post, fixing the middle east is not possible, we don't belong there.

My heart breaks for the women and girls in Afghanistan. Of course I don’t have any answers except let the women emigrate to Europe or US if they want… leave the men to play jihad by themselves, see how long they last…

What’s really important is the original decision to enter an imperialistic “relationship” to begin with, since leaving is NEVER going to be pretty. There is no easy way out, no matter what Bill Kristol and his ilk have to say about it.
