I think this is a fine opportunity for the women of Afghanistan to take the lead in fighting against Taliban control and demonstrate that women can fight. They can lead a revolt for their rights and, hopefully, be successful. But, as our POTUS is saying while I write, it is not for our nation to lead such a fight. If Afghani's are not prepared to fight for themselves then our continued presence would not have helped.

The best way to fuel extremist ideology of any sort, is to make war on people, deprive them of the use of their own country, and set up corrupt Vichy style governments, to progress foreign agendas. Then they turn more than ever to the extremists for help, and the extremists look ever less dangerous and more moderate relatively speaking. Meanwhile the extremists learn their trade better with every passing day.

Afganistan is on it's death bed... Thanks, Joe!
