In reply to the discussion: "Not Our Tragedy": the Taliban Are Coming Back, and America Is Still Leaving [View all]luv2fly
(2,475 posts)1. People saying it's "not our problem" are annoying as hell
This is a shit show and regardless of the realities, it looks like we're running away with our tail between our legs. It's not good for the innocent people in Afghanistan, it's not a good look for the United States, and it baffles me that some type of peacekeeping force can't be put in place.
Yes I know that atrocities happen all over the world every day, but after 20 years of our involvement the Afghan people deserve more. The Afghan people are suffering in ways that the vast majority of us cannot even imagine.
