I have to agree somewhat. The government in Afghanistan is morphing into something that is no better than what the Taliban was when it ran the show.

It is not right for our troops to die for that.

To this day I still don't get why we insisted on putting into place a government that is based on Islam, which is exactly what the Taliban regime was, when a secular government would have been far more appropriate. I can understand that there would have been a lot of opposition for doing this, but when you are at war, you have to erradicate your opposition, not try to play nice with it.

That's exactly the same question I asked about Iraq, ironically.
