Thoughts and prayers? There's a meme about that. I'm sure you mean well, but come one now.

We live in an age where this doesn't need to happen but keeps happening. There are plenty of reasons why but they are all bullshit and foolishness compared to the suffering. It's being accentuated in Afghanistan at the moment, but it's neither a unique nor a new tragedy and is one of our greatest ongoing flaws as a species.

@Islamnusantara009 Taliban has been in control of much of Afghanistan outside of Kabul before, during, and now after the US was there. The Taliban never did a good job at ruling and running Afghanistan. But no one ever does a good job at that. Afghanistan is called the Graveyard of Empire's for a reason.

@Islamnusantara009 None of that whataboutism has anything to do with what either the OP or myself are talking about. We are both condemning any and all the powerful leaders whose choices bring suffering, exploitation, starvation, and death to the powerless and especially to the children of the world. Neither of us are arguing that the US solved the ancient and cultural problems that go on in Afghanistan any more than they did while occupying Iraq. But if you are arguing that the Taliban or other leaders in Afghanistan don't also cause terrible and needless suffering to the children of their own country then you are not being honest and there isn't any point in trying to talk with you further. Have a good one.

Will Afghanistan ever be free of tyrants?
