U.S. Embassy in Kabul Tells Staff to Destroy Sensitive Material and Evacuate
I remember the sentiment right after 9&#x2F;11 and the country was baying for blood.<p>It seems like the most prudent thing to have done was to adopt a kind of Fabian Strategy where we don&#x27;t invade a nation halfway around the globe and hope to change a culture that has stubbornly been able to avoid being conquered by the major empires in world history. When you <i>really</i> look at it, no major act of terrorism of the same scale was going to happen anyways. I mean really, mass shootings end up killing more people. And it&#x27;s not like the hijack an airliner strategy is going to work again.<p>But here we are, 2+ Trillion burned and nothing to show for it.
