#yiv8133818737 P {margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;}I happen to agree with much of
what was said. I cannot, however, ignore the parallels with Viet Nam. In both
cases, we have been in unwinnable wars. In Viet Nam, we declared victory and
came home. Here, both Trump and Biden have recognized that any agreement with
the Taliban is simply papering over the fact that they will take over the
country when we leave. The best we can do is provide asylum the translators
and others who have worked with us there. Eric

"To use another trademark Biden expression, his Afghanistan speech was a bunch
