So many countries have tried to tame Afghanistan and so many have failed. So many young men of different nationalities have lost their lives in Afghanistan over the years that it makes me wonder if it would be better to leave these countries alone and not interfere in another man's land. It is arrogant to think and presume that the people of Afghanistan want democracy. They have managed for thousands of years without democracy. The treacherous terrain in Afghanistan is understood by the Taliban, they know their own people, and it is an unwinnable war imo
Those young people who got killed yesterday by a rogue policeman have left grieving families behind who may wonder if the waste of their young lives was worth it. The death toll is now in the hundreds. And for what?
