Afghanistan Has Become a Terrorist Paradise
The National Interest ^ | 08/19/2022 | Jason Criss Howd

Posted on 08/19/2022 11:36:19 AM PDT by Kevin in California

The recent killing of Al Qaeda leader and 9/11 mastermind Ayman al-Zawahiri in a Taliban-Haqqani safehouse in Kabul should give American leaders and allies of the Afghan people a reason to reassess their current policy. If the clear links between the Taliban-Haqqani leadership and Al Qaeda are not enough, policymakers should quickly scan the reports about the deadly and misogynistic system that has been installed by the terror regime in Kabul. The Taliban are not going to change their thinking based on current diplomatic approaches, as this statement from Minister of Interior Sirajuddin Haqqani at the beginning of August made clear.

Independent research has assessed that Afghanistan is unsafe for anyone that does not subscribe to the extremist ideology of the regime. Every day, Afghans whom the regime defines as their opposition are murdered without trial, often after enduring brutal torture. Women, girls, former members of the Afghan National Security Forces, and religious or ancestral minorities are at extreme risk. Women and girls are simply objects to the terror regime, stolen and sold or gifted into arranged marriages. The majority are now denied education and economic opportunities.

We could have gotten there without spending a trillion dollars.

I take issue with, “has become. Afghanistan is more or less the same as it was before the United States and its allies got there. And as many people have pointed out at the time and since then, as soon as the US left it would go back to being the same. We were already there for 20 years.

This centuries-long festering moslem wound can only be solved if the U.S. and Russia jointly carpet nuke the country from end to end...

If this had been done in the ‘70s, the Russian and American populations would be substantially larger...

Yup.

If we would have left 10 years ago, it would have reverted to be a 5hithole.
If we would have left 9 years ago, it would have reverted to be a 5hithole.
If we would have left 8 years ago, it would have reverted to be a 5hithole.
If we would have left 7 years ago, it would have reverted to be a 5hithole.
….
….
….
If we had stayed another year, it would revert to be a 5hithole.
If we had stayed 2 more years, it would revert to be a 5hithole.
….
….
….
6 years
7 years
….
….
…. 20 years
…. 100 years

Not for long.

Every terrorist in the country is wondering if the Taliban got paid to set up al-Zawahiri for the CIA.
