Which is why I asked the question earlier in the thread, should we try and help? Talking, asking or persuading the Taliban to change their ways and not hang gays, chop women’s heads off for “adultery”, ban women from society etc, will never work. Any westerner complaining about us being in Afghanistan cannot deny the good that was done to eradicate all that.
Unfortunately ( as we are seeing the early signs of ) it wasn't eradicated and only put on hold............ Should we try and help?... We did for 20 years and shortly it will be back to square one... We ( the West) should try and negotiate, reason and perhaps push stringent sanctions but will it work? Doubt it. Horrible thing to say and I'm far from comfortable with it Snickers but we need to walk away because the only other alternative is military intervention and the cycle of death begins again....... Nope, not for me.
