Taliban back brutal rule as they strike for power

I. DON'T. CARE.

The only thing we should have done after 9/11 is killed anyone affiliated with Bin Laden, destroy the camps, and that's it. We were sold a bill of goods ("justice for 9/11") that turned into a stupid 20 year nation-building project which the American people didn't want and don't support.

If the Afghans want the Taliban out, they can work on that project on their own.

In retrospect, we probably shouldn’t have left behind all our military equipment though.

Neither the Brits nor the Russians succeeded in moving Afghanistan to some other type of society and two decades of US presence has only held off the inevitable. Afghanistan is cursed to always revert to 9th century Islamic tribalism. While Biden’s quick bug out has only hastened the inevitable, but the same would have happened to Trump, Obama or Bush. Pity the women and girls of Afghanistan who for at least a short time had some freedom. They will be brutally repressed under the Taliban. Perhaps the only positive thing that might result is the world might see the barbarism that is fundamentaist Islam
