Afghanistanism is the practice of commenting at great length about the problems in faraway places while ignoring issues in the home country.
The term was first used in the London press in the 19th Century when the British military could not control Afghanistan as a way of keeping Russia out of India. In the 2oth Century, the Soviet military could not control the country. Now, in the 21st Century, the American military is pulling out of Afghanistan after being unable to bring peace to the country.
Three of the most powerful nations in the world were unable to control what Afghans do.
It's time the U.S government focused on resolved problems in America.
