So I know we are in Afghanistan to avoid another 9/11 and I believe we should stay there only out of necessity to police the resurging Taliban because quite frankly Nation Building is not realistic.
The Afghan people are like the NYC homeless, you can hide them away, you can give them treatment, you can kill their squeegee business but you are not going to be able to get rid of the situation in it’s entirety. These are people who have been beaten down for so many years they don’t trust anybody, take an Afghan guy in his thirties and he has probably never lived in a time where he wasn't fighting Soviets, bowing to the Taliban, getting controled byAl Quada or having their lives run by warlords. The Mujahideen has fought so many battles that their scars are scarred and by now they have lost all sense of normal.
They may as well be the homeless guy sitting in a puddle of his own urine on the subway
Just look at these faces as the people who protested yesterday.
Mind you that they were protesting to defend their right to rape their wives. The same wives they force illiteracy upon and refuse to let walk around without being covered head-to-toe.
If this was happening in ‘civilized society’ sociologists would say that there was an epidemic of antisocial behavior but in Afghanistan it’s Wednesday.
But then again in our ‘free’ society people are getting gunned down in schools, immigration centers and old person’s hospitals by gun-wielding psychopaths who feel bad for being outcast cause they don’t speak proper English or are afraid Obama is going to take away their guns.
