The US withdrawing troops from Afghanistan without ensuring the rights and protection of women is is unacceptable. The Taliban’s history of brutality towards women must not be forgotten or ignored in these negotiations. nytimes.com/2019/08/16/world…

what about child abuse? the US occupation didn´t do anything to prevent that. Do you really think that the US military occupation really help women´s rights. Because maybe they are more concerned about securing heroin traffic. npr.org/2018/01/24/580433652…

I appreciate your concern, but this administration could give a shit, at this point. We all know this is fine with them, and to lessen women's right in our nation is something they engage in often.

Why does the US have the right to demand that another country has enacted sufficient "rights and protections" for its own people before leaving? Isn't this self-righteous appropriation of sovereignty basically Neoconservatism in a nutshell?

We cannot change their culture anymore than the English could change India. It’s time to get out
