Militarists, "addicted to war", don't want to allow the US war in Afghanistan to end. They want the US military to fight "terrorism" there.

The Taliban's victory could be a big step forward towards eradicating PIS, if the US cooperates with the Taliban for this. Above all, the US must not mess it up by provoking friction with the Taliban. For instance, drone strikes in Afghanistan that kill civilians would be extremely counterproductive, even if the target is a real terrorist.

Unfortunately, that's exactly what is happening.

(One thing not clear in the article: were the civilians killed the people in the car, or were they bystanders the vicinity?)

All US troops are now out of Afghanistan. The US should adopt a policy of no air strikes in Afghanistan except in cooperation with the Taliban.
