President Biden is still being criticized for completing the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan. Here are some quotes and then some of my own passing thoughts about the last twenty years of neo-conservative hawkish foreign “action”… — kmab | |
You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of discussion. | |
— Plato | |
What is absurd and monstrous about war is that men who have no personal quarrel should be trained to murder one another in cold blood. | |
— Aldous Huxley | |
One is left with the horrible feeling now that war settles nothing; that to win a war is as disastrous as to lose one. | |
— Agatha Christie | |
Joshua / WOPR: Greetings, Professor Falken. | |
Stephen Falken: Hello, Joshua. | |
Joshua / WOPR: A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess? | |
— A conversation between (Joshua) an A.I. system “programmed” to fight a thermonuclear war and its inventor (Falken). The lines are from the movie: “War Games“. | |
Invading Afghanistan was NOT a mistake. The correct action should have concluded shortly after capturing / killing Bin Laden at Tora Bora, or not. Either way, we should have withdrawn from Afghanistan within ninety days and told the the Taliban: “We don’t want to occupy or change your country, but you can be darn sure if you harbor terrorist again, we’ll be back.” Iraq was a war of choice by the Bush / Cheney Administration. They took advantage of the fear generated by “9/11” and manufactured reasons to invade there (Iraq). I’m NOT saying either Saddam or the Taliban were “good” for their respective countries. I am saying we had no business invading one and and trying to “nation build” in the other. Both countries have a right to self-rule, no matter how poor we may view their choices. The correct “moves” were “not to play” (in Iraq) and not to stay (in Afghanistan). Nothing was settled in either country and it was (not) done at a tremendous cost to our military and their families. — kmab | |
