It's actually worse than that. If we cared about emancipation of girls from Muslim Radicals then we could just do NOTHING because Afghanistan had a revolution and a secular government back in the 80s. Which called USSR for help because muslim radicals didn't like the reforms. Instead, we funded the Mujahideen (who were, ahem, Muslim radicals) and told them to carry on a holy war against their government and the commies. We gave them stinger missiles. USA and Saudis also trained foreign fighters "Afghan Arabs" to go and wreak havoc. In the years that followed, up to 2 million Afghan CIVILIANS DIED. And the country was then ravaged by war, and became home to Al Qaieda the very organization that attacked us. But it's actually worse than that. In 2001 we went over there ourselves because we wanted Osama Bin Laden. The Taliban told the USA: "just provide proof that Osama was behind 9/11", and let's have a court case in a neutral third country. (You know, like they do in The Hague etc.) USA and Bush admin said: "We know he's guilty. We will give you no proof!" Then in December of 2001 (that same year!) the Taliban said "we unconditionally surrender! We will disband! All we ask is for you to let us live our lives out in dignity." The USA said in their great wisdom: "NOPE" Then we fought for 20 years the very group we ceded Afghanistan to last year. And to think, all we had to do is ACCEPT THEIR UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER and we would have saved trillions. And those girls would have been educated! https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/23/world/middleeast/afghanistan-taliban-deal-united-states.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/23/world/middleeast/afghanis...
