Lara Logan Has an Agenda

Lara Logan, I understand, has lived in Afghanistan and has an affinity for its people.  She has a lot of valuable insights into the current situation in Afghanistan but continues to put the full blame on the U.S.  She said the following on Laura Ingraham’s show: “Afghans don’t actually want fly to America...what they really want is their country back.” 

My question to Lara would have been, if that is true then why did 300,000 Afghan military and police drop their weapons and run to the airport?

Afghanistan: The Inconvenient Truth

I have listened to the horrific stories about what will happen to people left in Afghanistan at the hands of the Taliban and how the U.S. is honor-bound to get everyone out who wants to leave.  I saw a female Afghani journalist wearing an Afghanistan flag covid mask here in American crying about how the U.S. needs to do more.  This leaves me to wonder why didn’t the Afghanis themselves do more over the last 20 years to fight the Taliban? 

I do not believe we are honor-bound to help when millions of able-bodied Afghanis did not feel honor-bound to fight for their own country.  Also, I think we should refuse to help any able-bodied man leave the country they refused to defend.
