Yes, it does.
Do you dispute these facts? Do you feel that Afghanistan is a country where liberty abounds? If the US is not responsible, who is?
The current government in Afghanistan adheres to a far more lenient code of sharia law than the Wahhabist code in place previously.
When confronted with a test case last year of a Muslim who converted to Christianity, the government of Afghanistan did not enforce the death penalty.
This is enormous progress for a country in which summary execution would have been the rule less than four years ago. Ancient traditions that are part of the air Afghanistanis breathe are not changed overnight.
Afghanistan was never a tolerant country - it is now far more tolerant than it has ever been under its own domestic governance.
Moreover, the incident highlighted in the report refers to the actions taken by criminals against foreign visitors, not official actions of the government in Kabul.
Afghanistan is a much freer and more open place now that it was before and this is a direct result of military intervention. Women are allowed to attend school, hold jobs, uncover their faces. All citizens are allowed to read newspapers, watch television programs and films, read Western books and use computers - activities strictly banned under the Taliban.
If you imagined that a couple of years of US military intervention was going to produce a nation of American suburbanites you are disconnected from reality.
Slandering your country and its armed forces from your cowardly niche of safety is ignoble and foolish.
