Joe Biden Must Ignore the Taliban’s August 31 Withdrawal ‘Red Line’*Michael O'Hanlon* *Afghanistan, Middle East* Staying an extra ten or twenty or thirty days—or whatever we deem necessary in the end—is not only the right thing to do but is what is now needed to begin the process of restoring American credibility, not only in the eyes of the Taliban but in the rest of the world.

Europe’s Great Mistake: The Roman EmpireThe Roman Republic was founded in 509 BC. It took the Romans about 300 years (by 218 BC) to consolidate their rule over just the Italian peninsula, and it took them another 350 years to reach the highest extent of their empire (under Emperor Trajan in 117 AD). Contrast the slow progress of Rome with the rapid expansion of other empires. The Mongol Empire of Genghis Khan and his descendants had amassed six times more territory than the Roman Empire in just 50 years. The Maurya Empire of India had become as large as the Roman Empire in just 5 years. The Spanish Empire became twice as ... read more
