Yes. When SA asked us to leave and we have neighboring options, and we do it what, 4/5 years after 9/11 it is the same exact thing as a country voting its government out of office 3 days after an attack, for a different government who promises to "undo" the "wrong."
Its almost as bad as when Johnson appeased the Japanes warlords by mothballing much of our battleship fleet in the Pacific in '67.
