I am so damned tired of hearing Biden castigated for leaving so many of "those who helped us" in Afghanistan behind. No one "helped us". Whether one believes, as I do, that we never should have been in Afghanistan, or not, the fact is that we weren't there to conquer the country. We were there to try to help certain Afghanis win a civil war against other Afghanis. So, those Afghanis who worked together with us were doing so to help themselves and not to help us. Unfortunately, the civil war was lost. Those Afghanis, who were unable to leave the country, must suffer the consequences that are suffered by any people who lose a civil war. Although we were under no obligation to help anyone escape, we did, in fact, help more than 100,000 of them to escape. We should take pride in that accomplishment and not condemn our leaders for not having done more.

Dear Mr.Moore~ NM is probably the m BLUEST state in the Union. Please come visit our melting pot again. So many New Mexicans welcome you, and need your voice! Plus, we have a top notch Governor in: Michelle Grishem Lujan. Pres.Biden even asked her about being his VP.

Come! I'll fix you cheese enchiladas w/ calabacitas! Love, Laura
