I have a friend who served in Afghanistan in the US Army, he said it was an unorganized mess, and he came back home with PTSD.
And we had contractors who only cared about money and who did not care about the people of Afghanistan.
We also had people who tried to grow cotton in Afghanistan and who tried to get them into honest business who were blocked.

AID and the Afghan Cotton Saga
Why would USAID not get behind an effort to turn Afghan farmers from poppy to cotton?

We should have helped Afghanistan to have a good peace-time economy, and good women's rights.
Some people just wanted money, and they did not care about helping the people of Afghanistan.
We need to speak up, and help the people of Afghanistan, failure is not an option, and allowing the Taliban to return to power is not an option.
It is time for a free and fair election in Afghanistan so that they can elect a legitimate President and Government.
Allowing the Taliban to return to power is not an option.
And the stars need to speak up in support of the people of Afghanistan. The people who support the people of Afghanistan need to speak up loudly, NOW.
Salute,
Tony V.
