Exactly right.
“Yes, the US and the west should stop endless wars of imperial conquest. But it’s unconscionable to throw 38 million Afghans to feral wolves and squander hard-fought social and educational advances women and minorities have made over the last two decades.” independent.co.uk/independen…

Another game the warhawks play: If we invade a country and it’s a disaster, then that is proof that we need more troops. If we leave a war and it is a disaster, then that is proof that we should have stayed. In reality, it’s all evidence that we never should have gone to war.

One of the oldest tricks of the war machine is to relentlessly focus on the human rights abuses of our adversaries in war, ignoring the human rights abuses of our allies and, of course, the war itself.

The Taliban definitely doesn’t treat women very well, but I see far less empathy being shown for how their opposition treats little boys. Ask some combat vets about that.

If you want to support a war to bring feminism to Afghanistan, then be a real feminist, grab a gun and go do it yourself.

The people who claim to be gravely concerned about Al Qaeda retuning to Afghanistan had no problem fighting wars on their behalf in Libya, Syria and Yemen. They have no concerns about starting new wars, just ending one.

If they aren't going to stop with the wars ..... the very least they could do is to finish what they start . Makes me think that huge bill over 1.5 trillion dollars of the poor taxpayers money was wasted . The US military has bailed out of a bad situation they created before .
