A Fatal Error?

Eight years after the 9/11 attacks on the United States by Al Qaeda, which were launched from Afghanistan, the country's former rulers are rapidly regaining ground and poised for a complete comeback. 

That the Taliban still exist is bad enough. That they are winning the war in Afghanistan is inexcusable--but not surprising,. Instead of utterly destroying and defeating its Islamist foes, the U.S. dislodged them. Taliban leader Mullah Omar and his most senior commanders--along with Al Qaeda leader Osama Binladen and his most senior henchmen--were inexplicably allowed to escape into neighboring Pakistan instead of being wiped off the face of the earth by any and all necessary means. 

In other words, the U.S. made the mistake of wounding but not killing the venomous Islamist snake--the deadliest enemy the world has faced since the rise of Nazi Germany. Americans have paid dearly for this error. One can only hope it will not prove to be catastrophic in the months and years ahead as Islamists advance toward acquiring atomic arms.
