Most of you reading this are too young to remember the way we left Vietnam and what happened afterwards. Here's some reminders:
If you think that horror show was bad, recall the brutality of the Taliban and think what it means for those people who have struggled along with the US, NATO, and others to do something different with Afghanistan.
I urge that, along with the planned withdrawal of US forces, and NATO forces, and other forces, that there is a plan to allow all those who allied themselves with those forces and agencies to remove themselves safely from harm's way.
There have been enough victims of this long affair and we owe our Afghan allies safe passage to safer places than that of that of Taliban controlled areas.
Yes the US should open up its shores to those in Afghanistan but unlike the people form Central and South America these people will not be met here in the US with open arms even though they have dark skin they will not be welcomed with open arms here if we don't welcome them here they will be killed, no doubt about it!
