#1 Gotta do it I guess because they're most likely toast if they have to stay in Afghanistan but this is one of the more serious drawbacks to waging war in muslim countries.

#2 I don't think the US is doing the same.

That'll be a lesson to anyone who wants to help the US in the future.

#3 I don't think the US is doing the same.

Maybe they are just dumping them at a bus stop in Arizona.~

#5 I don't know, I mean a country like Afghanistan could probably use every person with a Western outlook they can get and we're letting people move. It's almost conceding that it's lost. If so they should treat it like a prisoner exchange and kick out 5 or more pro-Talibani in Australia to compensate.
