"The Brothers"

Monsef's "brothers" don't play well with others: 

The top-ranking Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee says the Taliban terrorist group won’t allow Americans to leave from an airport in the northern part of Afghanistan, while the White House chief of staff estimates that about 100 Americans still remain in the country.

First, a 2019 study found that 13% of Afghans had a lot of (4%) or a little (9%) sympathy for the Taliban.[1]  This means that for every 100,000 Afghan refugees brought into the United States, we could expect about 13,000 of them to have varying degrees of sympathy for the Taliban.

Then we need to take into consideration that 39% of Afghans think that “suicide bombing” in defense of Islam is often or sometimes justified.[2]  If we use the 4% number for those with a lot of sympathy for the Taliban, this means that out of every 100,000 Afghans we could have up to about 1,560 Afghans believing that “suicide bombing” could often be justified.[3]

In his trademark style, former president Donald Trump offered a hair-raising idea on how to decommission tens of billions of dollars in U.S.-supplied military weaponry in Afghanistan: ‘bomb the hell out of it.’

With worries mounting over the Taliban’s capture of the abandoned arsenal, the former president advised U.S. President Joe Biden in a withering assessment of the hasty withdrawal overseen by his successor.

 

How unconscionable it would be to consider having normal diplomatic relations with these people.
