Terror Attack-in-Kabul-Tale of us Inaptitude

Two days back I got up in the morning and saw the headline news that 13 US soldiers and another hundred local Afghans have been killed in a terrorist bomb attack. This attack has been attributed to ISIS. Joe Biden the US president made a bombastic speech that he would not forget this attack and take revenge I recollect a similar speech had been made by George Bush after the twin tower attack in New York but the net result has been that the US has retreated and shaken the hands of the very people who had been accused of terrorism and the US had declared it a terrorist organization. There is a certain amount of irony in all this and the fact is that the US has basically abdicated its responsibility as the leader of the world.

As a student of Military History I had expected this attack in Kabul and I am very sure some more attacks will take place against the US all over the world particularly in the Islamic countries. By throwing in the towel and negotiating a piece Donald Trump followed by Biden has let the free world down and it is the first time history will record that democracy lost and terrorism won. We are ordinary citizens and what we can do? All we can do is to vent our anger in blogs. That is about all because the fact remains the Americans have no longer the will to fight.
