OP-ED: What becomes of Afghanistan now?

Now that the US is withdrawing its troops, has the Taliban won?
President Biden has announced that he is ending overt involvement of the United States military in Afghanistan. These operations began at the end of 2001 following Al-Qaeda’s attack on the Twin Towers in New York. For 20 years, the United States and its NATO allies have tried to bring stability and peace. This effort failed and now all of these troops will go home. 

The main opposition was from the Taliban, a largely Pashtun group, organized originally by the Pakistan intelligence service to gain control of Afghanistan following the expulsion of the Russian army. Eventually the Taliban gained control over 75% of the country and established the government in Kabul.
