I saw and read this just a little bit ago.

My reaction sways from disappointment to sadness and anger.

Disappointment that the locals are so incapable of helping themselves that for all the talk 10 years ago about wanting the Taliban gone, they will do so little to keep them gone.....

Sadness for the loss of men and women in the effort to remove a brutal authoritarian rule and restore a people that could then thrive on their own only to have that evaporate due to political ineptitude.

Anger that nothing will change....you can lead a horse to water but will only drown it if you try force it to drink.
