It’s curious that she stopped the phrase about “my government” right after the word “failure.” There is no way to explain what it is that our government actually failed to do here. Afghanistan is a sovereign nation with its own government. Should our government have more weight in Afghanistan than its own? Then why shouldn’t Afghanistan’s government have weight in America?
The utter incapacity of so many people to understand the concept of sovereignty and nation-state is disturbing.
