The correct lesson from Afghanistan instantly reverting back to Taliban control the second the western occupation ends is not that the occupation needs to continue, it's that it should never have happened in the first place.
The claim that Afghanistan reverting to Taliban control will be a disaster for human rights is built on the fallacious premise that the occupation has been a boon for human rights. It has not.

The claim that Afghanistan reverting to Taliban control will be a disaster for human rights is also built on the premise that the US needs to invade and occupy every nation with illiberal cultural values and force them to change. This occupation has proved that an impossibility.
In conclusion, no one believes the western empire should invade all illiberal countries and force them to change at gunpoint, and even if they did we've established that that's impossible. But watch all the MSM pieces claiming the occupation must continue to rescue human rights.
