    Oh gee I sure wonder why

    Surely it couldn’t have been impacted by a twenty-year occupation, right? Surely not.

      No absolutely not.

      While this might be controversial Afghanistan and a lot of other places in the world do actually need foreign policing and a forceful cultural change.

      Not saying how we make the change or what it becomes but some places are so ass.

        So? Doesn’t mean that American occupation of Afghanistan hasn’t delayed their social and economic development by at least two decades (and probably far more).
