Re: Taliban no more terrorists?
i agree that sustainable political stability is a key objective that remains unachieved. i have simply pointed out that this may be a US objective but its not a key US interest. the core american interests in this war have already been accounted for and relevant objectives have been achieved in full. democracy and girls attending school in afghanistan are simply american desires, not american needs. a taliban regime returning to power is a problem solely for the afghan people. the only way a taliban government will be a problem for the US is if it returned to sheltering al-qaeda, which is something we know it would not do again.
but the idea of a resurgent taliban adding to US difficulties in the country seems to be a source of joy for many forumers. i simply asked why that is, given your questionable contention that everyone here wants to keep the taliban out of power. something doesn’t add up.
in that case shouldn’t your logical response be a desire for the US to double-down and be more aggressive and effective in their fight against the taliban? but you want the opposite to happen, which will cement the negative outcome that you claim not to desire. how does that make sense to you?
you haven’t answered my question about who exactly will sort out afghanistan and prevent taliban rule if the US leaves.
