Star Tribune | It’s in America’s best interest to leave Afghanistan
We must deal with the world as it is, not how cable news pundits spin it. As part of that outlook, the primary duties of U.S. foreign policy should be to defend America and advance our interests. The current nation-building mission in Afghanistan falls far outside that scope and distracts from more pressing national security priorities.
America’s best and brightest have served valiantly in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere over the past two decades. Many have given the ultimate sacrifice. As a veteran, I firmly believe this sacrifice is best honored by making the right decision for our national interest. That means leaving Afghanistan. |
