The irony of this dumb meme is that Hamid Karzai was such a big fan of Last of the Summer Wine that the British ambassador brought in box-sets for him by diplomatic bag.

I always blamed the three P's: Pakistan, Poppies, and Pres Karzai.
These days, I focus on Karzai--how can he be walking around Taliban-ruled Afghanistan. One can't imagine Lincoln walking around a post-war South ... because Southerners killed him.
That the guy heading the govt is fine now? 1/

Pakistan supported the Taliban because it got the Pashtun militias to stop pushing for independence of the Pashtun territories from the Pakistani state for a bit and focused most of their energy on Afghanistan and the US for a while. It was always kicking the can down the road but they got 20 years.

I have friends who served in Afghanistan who relied on translators during their mission. I have also gotten to know people who worked in the Karzai government. All were targeted by the Taliban after we left. They all loved America more than Trump ever has.

What if the Hamid Karzai International evacuation but a state actor was actively firing missiles at us during the crisis.

Oh it was a tremendous mistake. Karzai may have been better for them, but working against the Taliban would also potentially have alienated much of the Arab world (which was a huge investor in the country during the 1990s and 2000s).
Their reaction may have been understandable, but that doesn’t mean it was in Pakistan’s interests.
If Pakistan thought that having Afghanistan more aligned with India was a disaster, then their reaction fumbled America into being more aligned with India.

When I was involved it was during the Karzai era, not the Ghani era. I know Karzai personally. I was standing within eyesight of him when Kandahar fell. I don't want to say that I was "critical" of him, but I don't really know the word that I'm looking for. Maybe "cautious."

Hamid Karzai helped oust the Taliban after 9/11 and became Afghanistan’s first elected president. Today, he needs Taliban permission to leave his home — but insists he has no regrets about staying. Read this weekend's interview here: bloom.bg/4gjKc7n

Hamid Karzai had a great quote I shall paraphrase and repurpose here
"To the people of Israel and Palestine, I send love, to their governments, I send hatred, my absolute hatred. "
They are monsters, both of them.

like if massoud survives past 9/11 rather than being assassinated literally 2 days before, his northern alliance remnant territory still becomes the launching pad for the US intervention (as it did historically) and he becomes the natural guy to put in charge of the government rather than karzai
