Accepting the Inevitable 0
Methinks Noz has a point.
If you start off in the wrong direction, staying the course just takes you farther astray. Bush and Cheney’s (my guess is more Cheney than Bush) pursuit of endless war in Afghanistan was wrong from the git-go, and more war would not make it right nor, as twenty years of futile fatalities have shown, successful. True, the Taliban is deplorable–they are Afghanistan’s religious right–but, as events have shown repeatedly, we can’t–and don’t–rule the world by fiat.
Frankly, I think President Biden should be commended for having the political courage to end this pointless and doomed farce.
