The Taliban has something better. They now have control of the biggest poppy-producing country in the world...and that gives them tons of cash for whatever they want to do.
Suppose the question is whether or not we learned anything from 9/11 and/or were we incapable of remembering it.
Extraordinarily violent, evil people plotted and executed a plan to kill citizens and destroy centers of our government.
They hate us and want us dead. They are willing to act on their hatred. Nothing has changed with them since 9/11.
We can leave Afghanistan after 20 years, but we damn well better expect that we will still need to fight them. They’ve recaptured lost ground, will likely gain power and resources. I don’t see this as a matter peace negotiations will ever solve. Bet on periodic air strikes and other ongoing missions.
The Taliban can barely figure out how to work an RPG. Lets worry about something that might really happen. 🙄
