Selfishness and lack of empathy, it's as simple as that. That's the world we live in.

what was the alternative? stay forever? do i feel bad for the afghan people? ya, they are the victims of american shortsightedness. but the solution to that shortsightedness is not to double down.

It's twenty slightly better years than they otherwise would have had.

Horrible

The idea that we are of service—or in a position to rescue—anyone anywhere in the world, when we haven’t taken care of our own people right here at home is PREPOSTEROUS. The US needs to get its own house in order

Marianne this is going to be terrible for them. Frankly the only way to maintain stability there is we occupy for 500 years or we annex Afghanistan and it becomes the 51st state, unfortunately it was just not in the cards for us to hold that land. The withdrawal is terrible also

I can’t help to look at what’s happening and think to myself , we’re are the Afghan men protecting their women?…and I also believe giving the power, those women can do a lot of damage to the Taliban… but that opportunity was not given. Because of cultural… I guess.

You really think American war is better for the women of Afghanistan?

Rough couple days you've had.
