Zzg37-1005	The Path to Zero: Is Afghanistan the Same As It Was on Sept. 10, 2001?
	Quote:	People who had been told one day that they could enter were told the next day that they could not. Some Americans and thousands of Afghan partners remained behind. The result was what the Marines in the film describe as moral injury: not simply the trauma of combat, but the psychological and spiritual damage that comes from believing you have been forced to violate your own valuesor stand helplessly by while others do. That may be the most important part of The Path to Zero. The people who carried out the evacuation were not the people who made the decisions that created the crisis.... And Americans deserve to remember that the Afghanistan disaster did not begin when the bomb exploded. It began with a series of decisions that made the bomb increasingly possible.
	Comment:	Politics? Vietnam, Iraq, and now Afghanistan; we have a bad history of abandoning those who help us, and our press turning a blind eye toward the evils in the rest of this world, does not help. It takes Moral Courage to stand up and support what is right, when our press does not support that Moral Courage. It was the Moral Courage of our founding fathers that created America in the first place. It was the moral courage of early American volunteers that lead to our liberating Europe in WW-I and WW-II. We need to instil Moral Courage in our children if America is to continue leading the world in Science and Technology, not just in the respect of Human Rights and Personal Freedom.
