I understand those who think we should have left. I also understand some of those who think we should’ve stayed. What I cannot comprehend is anyone minimizing or glossing over the abject terror of 20 million women.

What I can't understand is how you think an illegal occupation is justified by women.

I thought 'the goal' was to take-out the supposed perpetrators of Sept 11th?

Do you mean those same 20 million women who’ve been living in abject terror under American bombs and drone missile attacks for the past 20 years Marianne?

I think you are sincere in your concern. We are not minimizing or denying hardship will be incurred but trying to let you know that war propagandists exploit this concern as a pretext for continued occupation that is not based on humanitarian intent. Sending you ❤️.

America is the world's policeman. Unfortunately, that policeman is Derek Chauvin.

Who is running our foreign policy, Marianne? Do you think that the Chamber of Commerce would do better than the last 30 years of misery? What kind of President would mining companies allow Afghanis to have this time? nitter.vloup.ch/27khv/status/142…

The 🇺🇸 Military is NOT a healing good for women anywhere.

The next time you see someone argue that US soldiers occupying a country actually makes its people more secure & improves their lives, show them this video. This is exactly the kind of sadistic & arbitrary destruction they partake in habitually with glee.

What you're minimizing is how the actual objectives of the military occupation have directly caused this situation. With respect to human rights, the US continues to be negligent and destructive. Excuse me for not thinking that the US is now going to miraculously change.

This was Afghanistan in the 60s & early 70s. Kabul was known as the Paris of the Middle East. Women were safe, educated & prosperous. The CIA armed & funded the radically fundamentalist Mujahideen from '79-89. Women were essentially treated as slaves & worse after that.

I can’t understand US citizens who gloss over the fact that their government terrorizes the world with impunity. Such extreme media-induced brainwashing mobile.twitter.com/Louis_All…
