Good luck on your own, women of Afghanistan. You should be ready now, right? /s https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taliban_treatment_of_women https://en.m.wikiped

  That's a good snarky comment, and it points to a problem that is real — but what would you like to see? Should the United States have a military presence in every country that has human rights problems, forcing the local government to treat women/minorities/dissidents the way we think they should? I'd like to know what your solution is.

    The women's rights angle was only pushed to keep some Europeans in the alliance ( among them The Dutch ). And it fitted really well with Obama. Disclaimer : Dutch.

  On the other hand, young boys will probably be better off. The Taliban are said to be much less tolerant of the rampant sexual abuse of young boys which is otherwise widely practiced and accepted across the country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacha_bazi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacha_bazi
