Have we learned the lessons from Afghanistan? ...Middle East

NY Daily News - Opinion
source : NY Daily News ( Middle East ) () 39
The most important lesson to be drawn from the experience of U.S. involvement in Afghanistan on this first anniversary of America’s messy withdrawal is to avoid the hubris and ignorance that kept us engaged there for as long as we were. I do not question the original decision by President George W. Bush to hit back at the Taliban after 9/11 for sheltering Al Qaeda. I do not question the long war we have been pursuing against terrorists, wherever they are. I do, however, question the strategic misconception that we can, and should try, to revamp the politics and society of countries that our leaders barely understand.
