So now I’m seeing reports that the beheadings have begun in Afghanistan. This is the result of our withdrawal. Joe Biden is having his Saigon moment.
Under what conditions would anyone take seriously United States foreign policy in the future? That’s the practical question.
More importantly, there seems to be a moral question here, as well, one which nobody is dared to address, as yet.
Namely, where is the morality in abandoning the Afghan people to these monsters?
Perhaps the Democrats that are currently in power don’t remember President John F. Kennedy who in his inaugural address, announced that
“…we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of liberty.”
Or perhaps the Democrats would prefer that we didn’t remember what he said. I had my disagreements with Kennedy certainly, but those words describe very well what seems to me the values that should be applied here.
What values is the Biden administration applying to this situation?
