Enough And Consequences 

President Biden said America had done enough in Afghanistan, and it is time for the country to stand on its own.  It can't and it has fallen to the Taliban.  A 20-year war and billions in investment and troop arming and training had no positive outcome.  The Afghan government was corrupt and ineffectual.  Biden's message to its people and his action in drawing down troops showed immediately that the nation cannot stand on its own.  It was a permanent ward of the US, consuming cash and weapons with no prospects for self-survival.  Biden is being blamed for the fall of the country, but it isn't his fault.  Four presidents failed there and left it to Biden to leave.  Biden could have lived with the problem and handed it on to his successor but he chose not to do so.  Hence, the collapse on his watch.  American voters will decide whether he took the right action.
