As news reports feature the threat of a Taliban takeover of Afghanistan following the withdrawal of U.S. forces, some voices in the U.S. Congress are questioning why we are leaving!  The real question should be, "Why were we there for 20 years?  Why did we waste more than $1 trillion and several thousand American lives on a war the Pentagon knew was unwinnable?"  The followup question to that should be, "Why are we still using British geopolitical strategies to conduct our foreign and military policies?  When will we learn our lesson -- as Lyndon LaRouche always insisted -- that the British Empire is our republic's only true enemy?"
