Afghanistan was too close to 9/11 and everyone was still recovering from that to have a detached view of the situation. Plus there was no moral ambiguity about the Taliban since they had overthrown an elected government.
There were protestors for every war since Vietnam across American universities. But this is something new. This isn’t protesting- they’re waving the hezbollah flag and chanting about burning tel aviv to the ground and harassing Jews. These aren’t left wing things. These are authoritarian things. And they’re - ignorant Americans thinks the whole world and all of its problems are about race thing.
