Why are you ignoring this momentous achievement for #WomensRights? The US-led NATO occupation had 20 years to encourage the puppet Ashraf Ghani government to do this but did not bother. Do you really think we were there for women's rights?

Good Question!!! ... We were probably making lots of mistakes ... KILLING ... lots of innocent Afghan ... Men ... Women ... and ... Children!

Good question, Marianne! "It was a mistake. It was mistake," Even the entire Iraq war is now called a mistake! 🙄 I think of a mistake as something like u accidentally park in your neighbor's spot or at worst in a disabled spot and get fined 200 bucks!

It was about the money.

In 2000 the majority of the opium poppy production had been taken over by Colombia because the Taliban had wiped out the poppy fields of Afghanistan. After war began the poppy fields came back. 20 years of heroin sales adds up to some serious money.

They’re making a big deal out informing us of this one so people who don’t actually care will think they actually prefer to tell us about these types of things when they happen so that when they stop telling us people assume they’re not happening.
