David Brooks, Humanitarian Concerns, Taliban Resurgence
On PBS, commentator David Brooks argued that the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan is a mistake that will lead to the collapse of the Afghan government and the loss of women's rights. He cited the Taliban's rapid territorial gains and the potential for the country to once again become a haven for Al-Qaeda. Brooks suggested that maintaining a small troop presence was a "price worth paying" for regional stability.
