Taliban fighters sit at the desk vacated hours before by Afghan President Ashraf Ghani who fled the country, Sunday, Aug. 15, 2021. The Taliban, in a shocking blitzkrieg, have swept through Afghanistan in less than a month, the 300,000-man Afghan army all but melting away in their path.
And what of the honor and property of Afghanistan's erstwhile occupiers, the United States of America? Today thousands of interpreters and their families await visas to the U.S., while Taliban fighters parade in captured tanks and humvees paid for by Uncle Sam. In the 20 years since September 11, 2001, the United States has spent more than $2 trillion on the war in Afghanistan. That’s $300 million dollars per day, every day, for two decades. Or $50,000 for each of Afghanistan's 40 million people. In baser terms, Uncle Sam has spent more keeping the Taliban at bay than the net worths of Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Bill Gates and the 30 richest billionaires in America, combined.
