      Secretary of State Antony Blinken described as "orderly" the evacuation from the U.S. Embassy in Kabul as the Taliban enter the Afghan capital. Blinken rejected comparisons to the chaotic U.S. exit from Saigon at the end of the Vietnam War.http://apne.ws/nNBqk1k

          We literally did nothing on 20 years. I hope we’ve finally learned to stop trying to rule from across the world.

          We did as much as we could to help our allies there, we trained them gave them money, tools and weapons and everything, but we made a bad mistake in not realizing the majority appreciated the Taliban and their rule and we were the imperialists.

          46 years after watching the fall of Saigon, we get to rewatch the near East version. Somehow, this one is even more crushing and embarrassing.
