Afghanistan

With the debacle unfolding in Afghanistan, what is the schema that political leaders have in mind?

Robert G. Morrison reflects on the fall of Afghanistan and the lack of religious freedom there.

A Taliban-led government in Afghanistan is going to be both an opportunity and a strategic threat for Iran.

What would President Roosevelt say of President Joe Biden and his Democratic administration abandoning the Afghan people? Perhaps Biden, and many in the West, have turned away from winning because they have lost a sense that victory, even an unsatisfying partial victory, is politically and morally viable.

Afghanistan’s fall is a shameful and unnecessary tragedy . We owe it to our warfighters and those who fought with them to do whatever good can still be done.

Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan may become one of the great blunders American foreign policy students will need to study.

Maybe Afghanistan’s collapse is a divine judgment on it and us.  But there is mercy always available, accompanied by wisdom.

Presumably the consequences in Afghanistan will be tragic as in Indochina.

As the twentieth anniversary of 9/11 looms, President Joe Biden has rushed to pull US troops out of Afghanistan. What are we to make of all of this?
