When you live by example those doing wrong eventually change their ways. But that no longer works for us, the United States has become no different than those that are doing wrong.

Once women are educated, they'll seek to build a democratic society, which the colonialists forbid. 60-80% of Afghans works in agriculture & livestock while the official main exports are carpets & rugs. I guess, the "deep state" wants cheap labor (farmers) in the opium fields.

I Just listened to your interview with Sarah Chayes for the second time ... Wonderful! ... right to the point ... we are the "Ugly American" for sure ... the goal was and always has been ... for the well connected and the powerful to simply make money!
