On the one hand, that John Bolton is gone is very good news -- he waned us to be in more wars, and the world is safer without him having as much power. If it was up to him we'd definitely be at war with Iran now, no question, and maybe more; Trump is almost never right, but he is right about that. On the other hand though, that his opposition to Trump's attempt to make peace in Afghanistan was probably part of why he left is troubling; I know that the Afghan war is endless and really awful and we can't stay forever, but leaving and letting the Taliban probably win would be even worse, I think... after all this, do we want to let the Taliban start horribly oppressing everyone in Afghanistan again?
