These endless wars have been one of the main ways of inducing the US to destroy itself, and to allow international finance to run the opium trade. In the Hemland province alone, opium production skyrocketed 400% under British occupation.

Afghanistan was and is a key opium producer for the international drug trade.

This is gonna be fun to watch. A virulent form of fundamentalist Islam is going to oppress the living hell out of a bunch of Stone Age poverty riven illiterate cavemen and especially their women. A 20 year very successful project of transferring wealth from the US taxpayer to corporate military interests is winding down. Those who died, died for nothing, we return from whence we came.

The best outcome would be to do business with the Taliban and in exchange for not bombing the hell out of them ask them to minimize their atrocities. It should be easy to manage because the media is compliant and simply need to be asked not to cover Afghanistan anymore. Mission accomplished - again.
