Afghanistan

Send them to Guantanamo to live in a dog cage without trial for an indefinite period?

Wut?

The Afghanis will need to sort out their radically different political divisions on their own.

100 years ago or so - perhaps a ruthless invading army could convert the populace to a prefered government - killing every single individual and their wives and their children in a very obvious and public way.
===
But the appetite for that sort of brutal occupation in support of regime change is morally abhorrent - indeed, even the Russians didn't follow this plan.
===
A large percentage or perhaps a majority of people in Afghanistan favor religious rule and an independent Muslim state. And they are more then willing to die for it.
===
Regime change is a failed mission unless you want to kill every single resident in opposition.
===
We're out of Afghanistan now and are no longer in the business of regime change. Afghanis will need to sort out their future on their own.
===
Credit to Biden for ending this idiotic conflict - blame on Biden that it was not accomplished with less bloodshed.
===
As a political matter - I think it makes zero difference. Already the news coverage on Afghanistan is fading - in a few more months Biden's missteps won't matter at all.

The Scarborough situation has just outed more racists.

I’d say I’m surprised, however, I am not.

Living in North Yorkshire I'd like to say they are compassionate people who aren't racist ..... as I say I'd like to say it....
