No, we 🇺🇸 spent 20 years destroying their country so the Taliban looked better than the constant bombing and death. And with the wealthy and educated fleeing the war , Afghanistan is left with the poorest and least educated trying to survive

Our 20 year bombing campaign only created a brain drain in Afghanistan. Stop trying to justify what we did
