Nine provincial capitals in Afghanistan have fallen to the Taliban in six days - Zaranj, Sheberghan, Sar-e-Pul, Kunduz, Taloqan, Aybak, Farah, Pul-e-Khumri and Faizabad - while fighting continues in four more - Lashkargah, Kandahar, Herat & Mazar-i-Sharif. U.S. military officials now believe Kabul, Afghanistan\u2019s capital, could fall in one to three months.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is horrific to watch the death, destruction and mass displacement of thousands of terrified Afghans and the triumph of the misogynist Taliban that ruled the nation 20 years ago. But the fall of the centralized, corrupt government propped up by the Western powers was inevitable, whether this year, next year or ten years from now.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

President Biden has reacted to America\u2019s snowballing humiliation in the graveyard of empires by once again dispatching U.S. envoy Zalmay Khalilzad to Doha to urge the government and the Taliban to seek a political solution, while at the same time dispatching\u00a0B-52 bombers to attack at least two provincial capitals.<\/p>\n
