I hoped...yeah to hope is to be a fool...that the Taliban would moderate themselves.#Kandahar: Video of martyred Nazar Mohammad, the famous Kandahari comedian, has been circulating on social media showing the moments when the Taliban took him away from his home and eventually martyred him. #Afghanistan pic.twitter.com/JSkWaAmnHB

They aren't.
I've read stories of not just translators but others being beheaded, shot execution style etc...
But even with all that I believe we were right to end our involvement in that country.
The Afghanistan govt had 20 years to develop its military power and its Officer/NCO Corps. They were lavishly equipped. They were given enormous amounts of aid to develop their institutions and infrastructure.
They failed.
Now they reap the whirlwind. I regret that their are victims here but its a failure of their people, not a failure on our part.
Tell me why I'm wrong.
