WNU Editor: The focus is on the U.S. and its failure in Afghanistan .... but Afghanistan is actually an international failure .... NATO, the UN, neighbouring states .... everyone has had a hand in making this debacle happen. Could this be corrected and the damage be repaired .... is there any hope to end this war .... sadly .... I have no reason to be optimistic. This 'spectacular' U.S. failure in Afghanistan is also a personal failure for President Obama. This war has been on his desk for 8 years .... but he is now shuffling the hard decisions to the next President. Sighhh .... I had high hopes in the beginning that he would marshal the resources and formulate the necessary strategy to end this conflict .... or to at least contain it. I was wrong.
