So, you expect the Afghan government to get to the same point it took us decades to get to in just five years?? That is not realistic.
They are currently a democracy, which was and is an extraordinary accomplishment in that part of the world. To expect the severe racism of the Afghan people and their religious leaders to just disappear in five years is wishful thinking.
Look, this experiment may fail in the long run, but it will absolutely fail if we just abandon them now.
What we are seeing is truly historic. Historic things take time. Changing the way an entire people think is an almost unbelievable accomplishment. Hard, yes. And, it will take time.
Of course, the Afghan government could have just stood on the sidelines on this issue in the name of freedom. Inevitably some of these Christian Koreans would have been abducted and/or killed by radicals.
At present it is quite a stretch to call Afghan a Democracy but if they can hang-on without to many hangnails they will be somewhat lonesome in that part of the world==
After almost half a decade, I expect them not to sentence to death people who wish to convert from Islam to another religion (or even no religion at all). If they are unwilling to do even this much, why are we wasting our time there? We should be redirecting our military against Iran. It is much more in OUR national interest to defeat Islamic barbarism Iran than to help enforce Islamic barbarism in Afghanistan.
Moreover, democracy sucks if it leads to Islamic barbarians winning and imposing their barbarism on their citizens. This is already an all too familiar pattern in places like Afghanistan, Lebanon, and the PA. Why continue to pour gasoline on this fire? What exactly is in that for the United States?
