Opinion | Dennis Aftergut and Le Anh Tu Packard: As Taliban retakes Afghanistan, Kabul-Saigon photo comparisons spotlight missed lessons. - NBCNewsTHINK
trying to scale airport fences and chase airplanes weren’t at all subtle. But students of Vietnam have known for a long time how this war was likely to end. Through history’s lens, the Vietnamese understandably saw our country as just the next invader to be driven back. The Taliban have now driven their invader back.
The role of the global policeman and “nation-building” via military intervention should be avoided, even in the throes of righteous anger like the kind that spurred us into Afghanistan in the wake of 9/11. Foreign armies that are unable or unwilling to understand and participate in the invaded country’s culture and language are likely to fail.
Where there is no realistic chance of military intervention succeeding, economic support and cooperation — if feasible — are surer routes to stability and progress.
