The neo-imperialist neoconservatives all argue that the American departure and the subsequent collapse of the Kabul government are deeply destructive to American "credibility" as a superpower in the world. The underlying ideology of this view is of course the cherished concept that the US must serve as global policeman everywhere and that a failure to do so is a sign of weakness and decline.
