Re Afghanistan:

You can’t help a people who don’t want to be free.
You can’t help people who don’t value freedom.
Freedom comes with total responsibility for your own actions.
Muslims want sharia law to control them.
They believe in being controlled from outside.
They don’t want to be personally responsible to control their own sin. They use brutality, social pressure, and threats to control people, families, communities, and entire countries.

I hope the U.S. has finally learned that.
