We never should have invaded Afghanistan in the first place. The Taliban offered up Osama Bin Laden with several conditions-- that the US provide proof that he was behind 9/11 and that his criminal trial should take place in a Muslim country. Makes sense to me. But the military industrial complex calls the shots with US foreign policy and we refused that option in 2001. I support Joe Biden in ending this misbegotten war. But I fear that the MIC is simply moving resources to prepare for war with China and Russia. How many more trillions of dollars are we going to spend? How much more destruction and killing? After Afghanistan, we the people need to oppose the MIC and demand that our leaders find peaceful ways to resolve international disputes.
