I have been asked by some of my helpers about where I stand on Afghanistan.
I do not believe that our soldiers should be rebuilding another country. We should pull them out.
If a group there significantly threatens us then we should reluctantly fight that & deter that by helping their local enemies. It is an ugly and imperfect response but not as bad as dropping ourselves into a civil war we don’t understand.
I would hope that the best pragmatic response to events in that country would not require supporting one side over another.

Well quite so. Why don’t we pull them out?
Such a simple question, no answer.
