I am not sure Biden is cognizant enough to accept responsibility. Even if he is, does that make it better? We are now at risk and our leadership in the world has been squandered.

Last US military plane out of Afghanistan ends America's longest war
The longest war in U.S. history has come to an end with the departure of the last American military flight out of Afghanistan almost 20 years after troops first arrived in the country.

There is no "good" way to withdraw from an unresolved war.
On the whole, I think he has done as well as he can with the mess he was given when he took office. Trump had already committed us to withdraw and if Syria is any indicator of how he planned to pull out then we would be seeing a bloodbath of terrible proportions right now instead of the relatively orderly withdrawal we have seen and it would have guaranteed that no one would trust us as an ally again in our lifetime.
I won't get into the argument about whether we should have been there this long (we had a solid reason in the beginning) as that is irrelevant to the present issue. It is easy to second guess those in command when you are not the one in the hot seat.
