The strident media voices decrying the events in Afghanistan are hypocrites: The Taliban were going to return to power sooner or later. If it had taken 90 days, far more people would have died. The Afghan soldiers who exchanged their weapons for 150 bucks did the right thing. The lightning fast, relatively bloodless takeover was the best possible outcome, given the reality on the ground. The West has collectively lost contact with reality.
