Oh Afghanistan! I weep for thee !

The population of Afghanistan is 40 million and the Taliban hordes are said to number only around c.80,000 -100,000. But look at how many numbers of Afghani people were killed in the bloody, senseless war of the last 20 years that began with NATO landing there!

The chart tells you that most of those killed were Afghan nationals …. not Americans, British or Europeans ….

And yet President Biden just the other day said matter-of-factly to the whole world, “The Afghans must themselves fight for what they want… No more American blood or lives will be laid down there…”

Oh Afghanistan! I weep for thee !
