Sad to say that Afghanistan was better off when the Soviets occupied it.
Those pictures are long before the Soviet invasion in 1979.
The death of Modernity is being accepted and advanced by the PC.
A fight for the right to be stupid.
A fight for the rights of a quaint and backward culture of abuse for the sake of remaining non-judgmental.
The left has boxed themselves into a hopeless outcome.
They love free expression at home and hate intervention abroad.
After all, these women should be free to be abused as they are.
Who are we to say it is wrong.
Back in the day, one of my jobs in a brand-new organization was to fill slots in embassies in southwest and central Asian embassies and Kabul was one of them. I’d never been there, but I’d read “Caravans” by James Michener, and therefore I was the office expert. I’d served TDY in Teheran during the Shah’s reign and thought that was just about the end of civilization. Over the years and prior to our invasion, Kabul was a relatively good place to live.
