I am convinced that the decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan was possibly one of the worst national security decisions ever made. There are no peaceful fanatical extremists. It is only a matter of time before the world wakes up to another catastrophe, if not in America and Europe, then in India and the Middle East, committed by those associated with the Taliban.

It will cause some slight inconveniences for the rest of the world if we don’t learn to live with the Taliban. But at least we have the option to refuse.
The girls and women of Afghanistan have been forced to learn to live with the Taliban’s gender apartheid. With no option to refuse and no means of resistance or relief.

The sad reality is that The Taliban are *easy* to ignore. They mostly keep themselves to Afghanistan and Pashtun majority areas so the western world can just shut their ears off and pretend the civilians under Taliban rule don’t exist.
So as long as they don’t go the ISIS route sanctions and finger wagging will be the most we see.
