“To leave Afghanistan stable would not just take another year or so; it would require another generation of American troops. Stability is desperately needed by the people of Afghanistan, but President Biden is unwilling to invest more lives or treasure. Next time America finds itself in a situation like Vietnam or Afghanistan, maybe it should remember what General Colin Powell called the ‘Pottery Barn rule’ before the invasion of Iraq —‘you break it, you own it.’” -MD
