Editorial cartoons for April 18, 2021: Afghanistan withdrawal, police shootings, infrastructure Updated 8:00 AM; Facebook Share President Joe Biden announced he will withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan by Sept. 11, the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks plotted by al-Qaida that precipitated the war. “I’ve concluded it’s time to end America’s longest war,” Biden said. “It’s time for American troops to come home.” Cartoonist Drew Sheneman of the Newark Star-Ledger captured the risks of the decision by depicting a U.S. infantryman standing atop a precarious tower of wooden blocks. Critics said Biden’s decision would lead to the toppling of the Afghan government and resurgence of the Taliban. Supporters said U.S. objectives to dislodge terrorists from a safe haven and stand up the Afghan security force had long ago been achieved.
