Sadly the corruption of the “democratic” former government of Afghanistan mirrors our own governmental, economic and moral affairs. I’m waiting to see a side-by-side panel with Taliban “fighters” in action next to one with the domestic “tourists” storming the U.S. Capitol this Jan. 6.
The statements quoted from the New York Post attributed to local candidate Joe Kent that we need to “destroy whatever we have to destroy, kill whoever we have to kill to get all of our people out (of Afghanistan)” are murderous, immoral and unhinged. Is this the reason Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler seems afraid to wear a mask in public, a gesture that would surely help improve public health? This kind of posturing is mirrored in the conduct of President Biden peevishly blaming his abandonment of the Afghan people, a failure worse on a human scale than Trump’s abandonment of the Kurds, on the previous occupant. Are we a derelict country? Republicans are pushing us in that direction.
Please wake up, inform yourself and protect the constitutional right to vote in free and fair elections.
