about the way in which things have unfolded. i agree that it was going to be messy all along. despite concerns about the plight of afghan women, i share those concerns deeply, what kind of government the taliban is going to bring, but in large part, we re left with one has to be a diplomatic and humanitarian mission, but not a military mission, and we haven t had a serious military mission there in many years. the most the president can do at this time in the administration. get american citizens out, and get our allies and friends who supported us out of afghanistan. really short up the visa process which is very convoluted. some of that is because of legislation, but it is also process. we just need to speed that up and get people to safety.
