Im not sure this is going to be a good subject right now!
Before anyone blames the west, there culture cant be messed with, it was part of communism's down fall there, so were not going to make the same mistakes. |

I like the idea of withdrawing western troops if the law gets passed. Formally, it's the ultimate non-interference. Practically, it is quite obvious coercion. I guess the problem is that everyone knows we won't withdraw our troops over such a "trivial" question, though.
Goose: But do we know that this is really "their culture"? Afghanistan is compromised of a lot of different nationalities, cultures and people. I get the impression that in many unstable middle-eastern areas, extremists get far more influence than appropriate, simply because they are the ones the governments fear most, so they try to appease them. |

Hmm, where's Douglas MaCarthur when you need him? We turned Japan around, why not Afghanistan?
