The simple truth is, pulling out is the only intelligent option left. To base that decison on the security status or the state of things regarding pace, stability, human rights, is a guarantee that foreign troops will stay there until into the next century. Biden has correctly recognized this. There will never be a wanted Western model of society, and therefore these qualities will never be there.



And this could have been known from beginning on.

Biden said he is the fourth president now who has to deal with the pullout decision - and that he does not will to leave it to a fifth one. I miss the lacking applause for this statement - its shows class.

The US should have gone after Mullah Omar and Osama, and once they got them, get out. But no, that was not good enough, one had to talk about nation building and beacons of demoracy and all that ideals stuff disconnected from what could be acchieved in pragmatic reality.

The mission post-Mullah Omar and post-Osama never had a chance. I was based on lacking insight and knoweldge about the region - and megalomania.


Whats being done with the Afghans who worked as helpers and aides to the foreign troops? They are death candidates if they must stay.
