Indeed you have written often about the Afghanistan decision.

And since it is a timely topic I think a reflective editorial is in order. That said I would like to see or have read a more focused piece on what is happening there now and why it matters in regards to the United Nations and to the current war..

Thanks, Michael, for your comment.

The focus today was on the decision to withdraw.

I haven't seen other commentators draw attention to the fact that the withdrawal of all contractors guaranteed the fall of the Ashraf Ghani government. I think the absolute betrayal of the Afghans by Biden is important to note, as it should evoke a sense on the part of Americans of continuing responsibility for the plight of the Afghan population.

I will write a more focused piece on what is happening there now, in the near future, before people forget Afghanistan again.
