The headline says it all, "Biden Was Right". This is a partisan propaganda article at its best. Nobody cares whether Biden is smarter than his predecessors, or whose dick is bigger. It's not about P&L and what financial calculations say.s It's the miscalculations of the value of human lives that angers me. But they are brown people, so they don't matter much, right?

Taliban is a radical Islamist monster that doesn't care a bit about human rights. We all know that; and let's not even get into who created the monster in the first place. But the ultimate goal of any civilized nation is to protect humans, not to hand them over to terrorists without any sort of protection. That's the moral compass that should have guided Biden's decision. The "How" is a different story, but at least, that "How" should have been guided by a moral compass, which clearly was not the case.

Biden's argument of it wasn't me, the deal was already made sometime ago, or the Afghani army is the one to be blamed, are just lame, the dog ate my homework, eh! The U.S. have enough capacity to estimate what would have happened, let alone come up with a proper plan. Again, leaving is not the problem, leaving without a plan is. Leaving innocent and vulnerable people prey Taliban is the immoral act behind my angry tone when commenting on such matter.
