How about education for women, the freedom to wear makeup, the freedom to play music in the street, the freedom to dance? It is easy to dismiss Governments of developing nations as corrupt but in an area as devastated and ethnically divided as Afghanistan it is wrong to ignore the huge improvement of the daily lives of Afghan’s lucky enough to live in the parts of the country controlled by the government. The less territory controlled by the Taliban the better for the people of that country and sending special forces to help the Afghan army seems a sensible way to proceed. |
