From Saigon to Kabul

摘要

With America's unceremonious exit from Afghanistan being widely viewed as a humiliating defeat for the US-led NATO forces, and with UN-designated Taliban terrorists sworn- in to power, the US seems to have learnt little from its past misadventures. From Saigon to Kabul, Washington has been criticised time and again for importing its own style of democracy and then quitting haphazardly, creating chaos. The 13 US Marines killed in a suicide terror attack at Kabul airport during the evacuation process, which saw thousands of Afghan nationals being flown out of the country, triggered global criticism for America's misplaced confidence.
