Afghanistan: We’re Outta There, Now What?

July 08, 2021

President Biden is doing what presidents rarely do: seeing reality and making a change. At no small political risk. Are we abandoning the women to Taliban brutality? Doug Bandow, senior fellow at the conservative Cato Institute, former assistant to President Reagan writes in The American Conservative and antiwar.com that Biden is courageously doing the right thing by ending the ill defined war. He explains Afghanistan is not one country, but is ethnically based, like Pashtuns and others. And it was anything but conservative to try to social engineer a foreign culture. Though a religious country, even the Taliban are divided, and young Afghanis see another face of America.
