I have seen this cover years ago. My problem is today, after we liberated these worthless people, the woman is still in fear of showing her face. She, and the rest of the women there are still wearing this tent over their heads. They are either stupid, or we are fooling ourselves that we did them a favor.

The women are still covering their faces because they are in fear. The taliban are still among them. All they did was shave their beards and mix in with the population. The Aghans fear that Americans will leave and they will be under the control of the Taliban again.

The Afghans are not a worthless people. They are grateful that we are there. They know that without our help that they are hopeless. It is NOT the Aghans who attacked America, it was Al Queda. Most of Al Queda is not Afghan, but they flourished in Afghanistan because they have no central government and the Taliban received money to harbor terrorists.

Err...
I don't remember either fashion or religion as being the cause for our entry into Afganistan this time.

I think I'd be quite happy with letting them dress and worship any way they please so long as they avoid murdering my countrymen or attacking our national well being.

We need to hope that the lady's own children will suffer less and we should let them try to work out their problems, hopefully peacefully, without making ethnocentric demands.

No, we're fooling ourselves that they are a civilized culture. I predict that Afghanistone will sink further into prehistoric savage "society", Taliban or not. It's the culture, stupid. (no offense with the stupid)
