Afghan response to hospital bombing

This article was interesting to read because the Afghan  government is seeming to want to keep the United States around. There was an airstrike that hit the hospital where there were some Doctors Without Boarders there. The Afghan government has kept quiet about it because they do not want to be quick to blame the United States. With the Taliban taking over Kunduz, it solidifies the reasoning to keep U.S. troops there. I find that it is hard to the United States to stay there, but at the same time if the Taliban keeps taking cities that are important, it may be a better option to have soldiers helping out Afghanistan. The Afghan government is being quiet because it is important that the U.S. stays there to help keep the Taliban under control. The U.S. will help stop the spreading of the Taliban taking over key cities.

I think it is a controversial topic to keep the troops in Afghanistan because the American government for the most part wants the troops out of there because it has been such a long time. But instead if we stay it could help keep control over the Taliban. It is an interesting topic to think about and for now, I think that it may be a good idea to stay.
