To whose advantage is stringing out the war? Ah-ha! I remember that other Middle East saying about conflicts and negotiations. We’ve got the watch, but they’ve got the time. How did our 20 years in Afghanistan work out for us? The Taliban was running things in 2001 when we first attacked. They’re still running things in 2026, 25 years later. They’ve even got all the weapons and vehicles we gave to the so-called “Afghan army” to help us fight the Taliban when we were still there. You walk into the shop of the rug merchant in the market, and you spend some time looking at rugs, and maybe you decide to buy one and you haggle over a price that’s acceptable to you – and which I can assure you delights him, because he’s not going to sell you a rug for less money than he bought it for – and you walk out.
