On Twitter, a blue-check Trump supporter claimed that neoconservatives objected to a summit with the Taliban because they are "really mad he is trying to end the war" in Afghanistan. Of course, this is an absurd oversimplification of the debate, and a dishonest representation of neocons. There are solid policy reasons to stay in Afghanistan, such as keeping al-Qaida from re-establishing a base to attack us or cause further chaos in the Middle East. Furthermore, we have occupied Afghanistan for a far shorter time than we occupied Germany and Japan after World War II.
Nobody wants "endless war."
