That's the whole point. A president elected 21 years ago decided to make it about nation building. Future presidents had to deal with the reality of the situation. Biden was the only one who pulled the bandaid off and finished this mess.
- devnull3 5y agoThis is not about what one president did in the past. 20 years mean multiple presidents, multiple terms and multiple opportunities for course correction. This is about what a country as a whole has done. This includes folks from both side of the political divide.
- randomopining 5y agoYes it's very complicated. But is the US as a whole really in the wrong? Indeed what was their goal? It was to bring al-Qaeda to justice, prevent a future breeding ground for terrorists (people who purposely kill innocents), and then there was mission creep to build a democratic country. Is trying to build a democratic country bad? This means letting their people vote for their future. I don't think any of these are bad. It's just that mistakes were made in the managing of it, and it failed in the end. Everybody is playing monday morning quarterback.
