We should have seized political power, eliminated the Taliban and our sworn enemies, controlled all the area's resources, and colonized Afghanistan. That is the conclusion I have drawn from today's news. That is what a superpower in the world does throughout history. If anything, our reluctance to express our might and put it into tangible form has cost us twenty years of turmoil, seen us suffer a diplomatic and now strategic defeat at the hands of the Taliban, and has left the populace to the whim of the butcher and pedophile.
We should have announced our presence with authority, to quote Bull Durham's intemperate Nuke LaLoosh, and we did, but what we should have done was stay there, control the resources, tell the populace they were under our rule, and exercised our power rightfully.
This is what countries that were attacked on their own soil would do with countries whose rule has fallen into the hands of those that would agitate for our demise; and we might have done so but for the howls of the effeminate and emasculated Western European democracies, democracies that haven't seen the funding of their own defense since WWII.
France, Germany, and even Britain should have been told that this was our way. We should not have appeased "human rights" watchers and grifters by promising democracy in Iraq and Afghanistan; instead, we should have pummeled that region and controlled it and its resources.
This was a diplomatic and strategic loss for the U.S. This was a loss for human rights. The laments of the effeminate West about raped women and children in Afghanistan should not have caused us fear, instead it should have emboldened us to impose our rule, our way of life, our recognized rights. The Pushtans should have been executed for raping little boys once liberated. The Taliban should have been wiped from the earth once control was established in the region.
Instead of acting with self-confidence, we did what all failing republics do. We offered olive branches in the face of a destructive way of life, a way of life that triumphed once our way of life was rejected, and we tried half-measures where only the sword and the imposition of rule was appropriate.
When you see the head-to-toe burka in Afghanistan, when you hear the reports of their raped, and their women stoned without trial for something as simple as accusations of infidelity, know that it is our lack of courage that allowed it. All because we do not believe in our way of life anymore.
This is a tragedy that could have been averted.
