American hubris at its finest. Invade a country, try to install a Western-style democracy despite the fact that the country has no history of such, bet heavy on corrupt local power-brokers and politicians, predictably fail spectacularly, creating an epic humanitarian disaster in the process, and then...blame the people of that country for being so unenlightened.
Here's a thought: if American society was so enlightened, it wouldn't be leaving Afghanistan with its tail between its legs, having squandered thousands of American lives, trillions of dollars and its credibility on the world stage.
