In a very troubling bit of news, Doctors Without Borders has decided to leave Afghanistan. They've heroically provided essential services for that country's people for 24 years, braving a string of hostile situations. Yet they judge the situation there today to be just too dangerous for them.
While I don't expect us to meet every promise the president made, we shouldn't forget what we've left in our wake in Afghanistan.
