More Good News!

Once the Taliban regain power in Afghanistan (a question of "when" not "if,") what will be the fate of those Afghans who worked with the U.S. during these past 20 years?  Will we do anything to save them and their families from deadly retaliation?

Finally, we are told that positive steps are being taken on their behalf.  Yesterday it was announced that we would relocate these people to safe places while they apply for entry to the U.S.  We're talking about more than 18,000 Afghans who worked for us as interpreters, drivers, engineers, security guards and clerks.  And it is estimated that they have 53,000 family members.

Dealing with this is a huge undertaking.  Will it happen as planned?  Will we live up to our moral commitment to provide safe haven for them?  Time will tell.  But for now this first step is Good News!

Bonus Good News:  A New York court has suspended Rudy Giuliani's law license because of the lies he told in trying to get Trump's defeat overturned.
