Sorry, Guardian, the west isn't creating today's Afghanistan, the Afghan people are. Nice try. Bring back the Taliban? No thanks.
Radical, unrepresentative Western feminist groups, through Universities, NGOS, governments and the internet, spread their bitterness and demands around the world - often led by Madeline Albright and Hillary Clinton in the 90s.
It's dishonest to equate women's rights and human rights with a bitter, disrespectful radical feminist movement that is so easily offended and accusatory re. perceived offenses by others and yet refuses to repent or acknowledge their own offensive words and deeds - their own disrepect for men, their grandparents, God.
A traditional society with a faith-based foundation is of course offended by self-centered radical feminists. If a "Code Pink" office is 'graffitied' in Kabul today, it does not mean things aren't far better for women in Afghanistan - being trained at Universities, taking professional jobs, not being beheaded in the public square for suspected adultery, etc., than they were under the Taliban!
