Joe Biden and his henchmen can put all the positive spin on this disaster in Afghanistan as much as they like. There is but one way to interpret this: The mighty USA has been routed! And by whom? By a ramshackle group of ill-equipped, ill-educated, ne’er-do-wells! So much for the power of the Superpower!
The mere fact that Americans thought they could bring democracy to a backward, unenlightened country such as Afghanistan beggars belief! That they have even tried has been bad enough; but to have tried and allowed their ridiculous experiment to fail before the eyes of the world is not only sad, it is a demonstration of the inability of successive administrations to understand not only Islam, but how it functions, or Islam’s intentions. It is also a first-class demonstration to the world that Americans don’t even know how a true democracy should function or why their own system of government is able to survive!
If Americans don’t even understand the underpinnings of their own governmental system, then what hope is the for them to understand how a radically different system of government, based on Shariah law, operates?
The mere fact that Americans have been trying to bring democracy to Afghanistan over a protracted period of time–twenty years–would be laughable were it not so misguided and sad. This débâcle has exposed not only the sadness of the lack of leadership in America today, but it has also exposed its leadership’s ignorance, both in the government and in the military.
