Yes, shelve the political point scoring. The Biden admin chose to embrace what Trump set in motion. The entire American political and military establishment, as well as the adjacent pundit class, owns this debacle. And it's ordinary Afghans paying the price. https://t.co/jUe6ygM7NP
沃海不久前寫了一本書,《明日世界》【15】,這本書的主題是追蹤了美國國家機器掛在嘴上的“被曆史賦予對全人類負責的不可推卸的神聖使命感”的來源,他發現不是美國人所說的美國“迫不得已地被曆史推到了台前”,而是美國少數精英權貴在二戰尚未結束時給美國打造的獨霸世界的藍圖,那就是通過軍事霸權把全世界攬在自己的懷抱裏,美國是有經濟文化製度的優越性,很多場合其經濟文化實力對全世界有壓倒性的魅力,但軍事霸權是這一計劃裏最關鍵,核心的組成部分,在上文【13】裏,他將之稱為“有了勢力,就必須為之尋找目的”(Power in search of purpose),二戰後,美國的產值和工業生產都幾乎是全世界的一半,絕對是壓倒性的地位,對於身懷絕技的天下第一高手,不能施展一番,豈不辜負了老天的期望?美國的這種霸主欲望,順應了早期總統昆西·亞當斯的那句話,“有人有一種到處找怪物露一手的欲望”(in search of monsters to destroy),如果沒有敵人,製造一個也要讓它存在。

以前我對nation building 也是否定的。看看現在的伊拉克,以及獵殺蘇萊曼尼伊拉克中立的立場,甚至通風報信告訴美軍伊朗什麽時候射導彈,射哪裏,我的認知改變了。伊拉克的改變是成功的。把一個侵略,反美的石油國家,改造成溫和,有點親美的國家,挺好。
縱觀中東過去50年,阿以戰爭,兩伊戰爭(8年),科威特戰爭,國與國之間戰爭沒停過。雖然美國入侵伊拉克是莫須有的理由,但此後中東再無國與國之間的大戰,阿以建交,中東成了美固主導的和平的中東,避免了生靈塗炭,國際石油供應穩定,全世界受益。美國nation building 取得了偉大的勝利。

至於美國軍工企業需要撈錢,這是我家的事,沒你什麽事。這世上有你們這些流氓,怎麽可以馬放南山。

官宣辛苦了,這麽旁征博引。引用“Why winning and losing are irrelevant in Syria and Afghanistan, Max Boot “這篇文章可惜在我看來剛好反駁了這篇文章和你的觀點-撒軍是失敗。失敗的指標是恐怖組織在敘利亞,阿富汗滿血夏活。這篇文章是以前寫的。請問敘利亞的恐怖組織有複活嗎?

Pakistan and the United States Have Betrayed the Afghan People

...much of U.S. investment did not stay in Afghanistan. Because of heavy reliance on a complex ecosystem of defense contractors, Washington banditry, and aid contractors, between 80 and 90 percent of outlays actually returned to the U.S. economy. Of the 10 to 20 percent of the contracts that remained in the country, the United States rarely cared about the efficacy of the initiative. Although corruption is rife in Afghanistan, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction repeatedly identifies bewildering corruption by US. firms and individuals working in Afghanistan.
