I read Yon’s “Pefect Evil” months ago. He’s right on many levels. Rall is not.
I also see this as something like noblesse oblige. We used Afghanistan as a tool to help wreck the Soviet Union, then left town with them holding the bag and ignored the resulting disaster until it came back to bite us. I think we owe them a chance - that’s one of the reasons I’ve been here for over two years. Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s how I see it.
Stay safe out there... and thanks for the on-site comments!

Thanks for being over there. What, in your opinion, can be done to help the Afghan people?
