However bad, maybe "Muhammed Studies" is better than "Gender Studies".
Kind of like most universities here. Centers if ideological tripe pushing a progressive mindset on the students with the aim of turning out unthinking, pablum repeating zealots.
I don’t blame them, considering the rot that universities have sown in the West in the last half century.
“...simple-minded Muslim fanatics...”
Is there any other kind? /spit
Maybe they have the right idea.
So basically the same thing happening here...
Wait just a darn minute here! Didn't Bush II says we were going to "invest" in democracy there? And didn't Obama say the Afghanistan was was the one "we" could win? And didn't Trump think trying to finesse an exit while retaining a base was a plan? And didn't the Idiot-in-Cheif Biden blow up that plan by withdrawing all troops and diplomats while leaving war materiel worth billions there? And continue to send some money later?
While the title speaks of "a thinking person in Afghanistan," perhaps a fairer look might be to find "a thinking person" in the twenty years' budget-busting, military adventure and "failure" which our thinking people assured was a good thing.
Who won? Apparently the Taliban and our war industry manufactures. Quite a team.
Totally worth 20+ years of dead/disabled US military personnel.
MFers…
universities?
What a waste! Truth was revealed in the 7th Century.
But wait, didn’t Biden promise that our leaving would not cause the Taliban to take control? The Afghans have 80,000 that’s THOUSANDS troops the old liar said and everyone shut up. Will the NE elites find this interesting ? Will they even know it happened? Trust tough guy Biden, he’s got this.
How Afghanistan is governed is none of our concern.
They accomplished their mission of raiding the treasury for no-bid contracts. Did you think their mission was something different than pillaging the US treasury?
Yes, it’s their country.
Three of those rifles are American. Wonder where they got them...
Who do i feel sorriest for?
1. The American troops. Particularly those who had any fighting time in Afghanistan.
They never were given all the means needed to totally annihilate the Taliban in the first place, which would have required to conduct ourselves in the Afghan-Pakistan region as we did in WWII, where no targets were off limits and no resoucres were denied to our troops - total war for total victory. However, I understand the American public post-911 were not going to get behind such an effort, so all measures our troops could employ were just half measures meant to “contain” the Taliban.
2. Those in Afghanistan who truly wanted a different Afghanistan and yet were usually out maneuvered by their own Taliban countrymen. You saw some thwousands of them trying to get a hold of an American aircraft taking off on a runway at the Kabul airport.
You know, these savages might be better off shutting down the universities. Hasn’t exactly worked out well having dens of communist brainwashers in american universities subjecting 18 year old kids to a lifetime of debt slavery to pay for the privilege of their brainwashing all so they can get a piece of paper from the self-appointed communist gatekeepers that “allows” kids to apply for jobs that might give them a shot at a better life. Not to mention how the universities create single, angry leftist karen women which destroys families and societies.
I say these savages are on the right track.
It has been expected. It was American money which was feeding Afghanistan for the past 20 years.
Most of it was filtered through corruption in the Afghan government.
