This was a waste of time from the start. It was a waste of money and lives. Show me one time in history nation building worked. The people in these countries will decide and will create the country they want. This Eurocentric idea that White people know better than anyone else is stupid and arrogant. These people in the Middle East hate us because since the end of WWll when we moved European born Jews to the Middle East, we have meddled in their lives continuously because of oil and no other reason. We can't even fix this country. What makes you think we can fix everyone else's country. Trump set up the deal to withdraw, not Biden. I don't give a fuck what you think about Biden's ability to think. You know he has to deal with a stutter. Don't confuse his stumbling on some words occasionally as some sort of mental incapacity. He was handed the biggest mess this country has seen since the mess FDR inherited and has to fight a Republican Party who will do everything to make him fail regardless of the cost to this country.You haven't had one conversation with Biden and have no idea how sharp hes is. When you say things like that you sound ignorant. The trillions of dollars we spend on stupid wars that never fix anything could be used to fix many things in this country. Lets help our people for a change.

So sorry to hear this. No one is perfect. We all have our weaknesses, some more than others. The fact you could see the positives in both of these men and the good things they gave you is what matters. Those are the things you will carry with you to the end. Losing friends and family is so hard and the older you get the more frequently it happens. It makes you appreciate those few people who are still here and are really important in your life.

How did that work out? This is why teaching history as truthfully and thoroughly as it can be taught is so important. Fuck names, dates, and places. Teach cause and effect! We only have to go back to the 60s, 70s, and Vietnam to see this was a bad idea to begin with, and when you lose a war there is no way out that isn't going to be a cluster fuck!

It is the weirdest thing l have witnessed in my 73 years. The Trump cultists and the response to the pandemic are mind blowing and l believe you can lay the majority of it at the feet of the Republican Party starting with Reagan and their "You can't trust the government" mantra for over 30 years, even though they make up roughly 50% of the government, give or take a little at different times, and social media. The internet is great for many things, but social media is not one of those things. It has allowed the stupid and the just plain evil from all over the country to connect and organize. I don't know how you fix that.

They tried it once during the Clinton administration and the outcry was so loud they chickened out.

They may have the ability to study and pass difficult courses and solve complicated problems, but that doesn't mean they have the ability for critical thought or abstract thinking. There are also the people who are born just plain stupid. They will be stupid untill the day they die. Both groups are easily manipulated, especially the stupid who are afraid of everything because they don't understand much of anything. Never forget 49% of the people have double digit IQs. There are also the greedy, who don't really care about anything except making as much money as they can right now and will let nothing, even global warming stand in their way.
