Thread Name: Afghanistan - then and now
Subject: RE: Afghanistan - then and now
Thanks for the expected insult. Let me look at your question "...but is it really normal and moral to reward all collaborators with a free pass to the US?" from the other side of the mirror: Is it moral to abandon people who have helped you, for many years in many cases, to the mercy of marauding and murderous thugs who are not under any form of central control? Let me remind you again that the Taliban chaps who are politely sitting around tables with us in Qatar are not the same as the Taliban who are running rampant in the Afghanistan countryside. And we in the UK are behaving just as immorally. So the answer to your question, for both our countries, is YES.
