I've never understood why we're negotiating with the Taliban.  That's like Israel trying to negotiate for peace with the Muslim Brotherhood.


I am glad you said that.  I couldn't believe it either.   Whoever could believe that the Taliban is capable of peace?  Trump wanted to reimburse Taliban travel expenses.  And even while he was talking about peace deal there were Taliban bomb attacks.

AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

The real  :pondering: for me is that all of the combat related deaths this year and a couple towards the end of last year are in the province I was in back in 2010-11...Uruzgan Province and the city of Tarin Kot.  When we left it was one of the first being considered to be turned back to the Afghans to run on their own with no coalition involvement.

The final Aussie and U.S. troops pulled out IIRC back in 2015.  Left the Afghans to run the place on their own...now we're having to go back in there cause the ANA and the Afghan Police can't do it or won't do it on their own.

Serious answer: the male population likely has an education level equal to that of the worst ghettoes in the US, and the female population is illiterate. There's really no quick fixes there, you're talking decades of building a civilization from the ground up.

That's all they know. In a less than serious vein, I thought we should send Afghani children to Disney World for two weeks, to give them a chance to see what is beyond their borders. Instead of changing their minds, some radical kid would probably set off his suicide vest while meeting Mickey Mouse.

@Night Hides Not The literacy rates for men in Afghanistan are lower than the worst ghettoes in the U.S.
