See you later, Talibangater!
NATO's decision to leave Afghanistan is most welcome. They should have done it much earlier if they had given more thought to the lesson the Russians learnt there years ago. One thing is for certain: Afghanistan or any other country, one can't impose their own system on them. It simply doesn't work. They should be left to their own devices. I know it's the ordinary people that carry the burden but, basically, it's their job to get rid of their own evil. The Taliban are probably wining and dining now - once the NATO forces are out, they'll do whatever they want in the country. The same thing will most probably happen in Iraq.

Even the Russians should have learned a lesson from history. The British Raj got rough treatment in Afghanistan back in the 19c.
