Well, yeah, I mean, that's that's definitely mine. I mean, I think it was a it is a judgment call to say whether or not it was the right time to withdraw or not, I'm, I'm slightly flabbergasted by people who think that there were any good options, I mean, stay on would have been a bad option as well. And it wasn't a stable situation, you could have kept maybe 3000 American troops in Afghanistan, the Taliban would have kept would have continued to increase in strength, and the only way the American troops would then hold them at bay is through airstrikes. And those airstrikes kill Afghan civilians, thereby making foreign troops even more unpopular. So the notion that America could have stayed and and that it would have remained stable is definitely wrong. I guess I think you can still say it's a judgment call. But I had a lot of sympathy for President Biden when he said he wasn't going to send any more troops or put any more troops in harm's way. For a war, that's essentially unwinnable. And I mean, this seems to me obvious is that a president or a prime minister, ultimately is responsible to their own citizens. And if you've come down to the point where it's a very narrowly balanced judgment call on whether you should be having troops put at risk, then you probably aren't really justified in putting them at risk. So I kind of think on balance, we'll have to see, but I think on balance, he's done the right thing. As for the manner of withdrawal? Well, I you know, I'm Yes, it could have been done very differently. But I must say, I wonder whether I'm just getting old and cynical here. But you know, I've never seen a war the ends nicely. You know, I just, you know, you either end up with the most horrible, brutal fighting and savagery with lots of civilians killed. You know, it there seems, I think, perhaps because I have written about wars, because I, I, you know, my first book was on the sea action war between India and Pakistan. I find some of the commentary a little bit kind of idealistic, is that the word? I mean, it's like, what what do you think happens when wars and it's horrible? And it's not the war is not ending in Afghanistan? Presumably, but the US war in Afghanistan is ending is that? Look, this is a mess. But where does this this idea come from? That you can end a war with it not being in a mess? I mean, it's it's as as messy as go, this is not that terrible. It's not, you know, selling of Kabul, it's, it's, yeah, in an ideal world, yes, they should have gotten their act together to get everybody out sooner to have a smoother evacuation plan. But, you know, you're running it, almost the idea that this war should have been ended cleanly, is almost speaks to the reason why America should not be in Afghanistan in the first place. You do not pull off a clean operation ending a war in a country like Afghanistan, like that, and every everything goes swimmingly, and beautifully, so you know, you're not running a logistics operation in Austin. So I, I don't know how it will play with the American domestic public, but certainly I look at it. And I think, you know, I look at some of the reactions, and I do sort of think that grow up guys. It's like, there's an awful lot of horrible things happen, and worse and horribly, and pretending that that is not the case is is sort of, it's very naive.
