Photos of the scruffy, bearded, automatic rifle toting Taliban reminds me of anti-mask protesters

The US didn't lose the war in Afghanistan, the Afghan government and people did

We shouldn’t have been so deeply involved in the first place, at most we should have launched a targeted strike against Al Qaeda in response to the attack on 9/11. Once we went in to Afghanistan we got bogged down in Iraq which clearly was an illegal, unjustified war of Bush/Cheney.
I can’t understand all the hand wringing and blame casting over the fall of Afghanistan. What were we to do? We spent twenty years trying to establish a working government and a military that could defend itself. I feel bad for the people who will have to live under a Taliban regime, but enough is enough. No more American soldiers should die in that pitiful country.
