  This is true, and I agree with you, mainly because this situation has happened throughout the world, not just in Afghanistan. In U.S., for instance, women were never allowed to vote. But this was never a justification for anyone to invade U.S., not even ETs (I am glad that pple here in ACC can understand this). This is not how it works. If or when the Afghanistanis themselves are fed up enough with how women are treated, they are/ will be capable of exerting enough pressure on their own government, just like in anywhere else. Up until then only 'mental' activities are required. This includes re reading and re-interpreting Quran etc. These can take some times. Calmness a peace is a prerequisite.

  Glad that you enjoyed the video....It's a great way of "visiting" a country...
  I agree roaring....The people are fine and intensely patriotic and will fight aggressors.....I think this surprised some of the dopes among the USSR and USA, planners, who foolishly thought that, being "super-powers," meant that they could never lose against tribesmen in the hills...So a good lesson for them and as I said, at the time I did warn Bush Jnr....
  
  It was actually because the Taliban authorities hosted the Al Quada group, associated with the WTC attacks...That was the reason given, at that time...And the UN agreed and the majority of nations thought that America's attack on Afghanistan was "justified." At the time I did not, and knew it was a doomed project...
  Personally I do not agree with the way that Afghans treat their women, but that is my personal assessment and would not justify a war...

  People say that there is no Afghanistan identity, and that it is only composed of groups of fighters who join hands to fight intruders and then revert to fighting themselves once they have defeated the foreigner. Thus they want us to believe that Afghanistan is unlike any other place in the world, and for this reason, Britain, USSR and US failed. Thus they turn the success of Afghanistanis in defending their territory on their own heads! 'They are too primitive/ barbaric to be beaten'.
  
  What a foolish way the world powers console themselves for shameful things they do in Afghanistan in a vain attempt to grab it! Afghanistan is like any other place. Left there alone, they might fight, yes, but all wars comes to and end with only two outcomes: a defeat of one group, or a stalemate. Afghanistan will reach a stalemate so that the natural government for a multiethnic group, federal, will be negotiated following the standoff. Foreigners prevents this by creating a false 'power ballance' that collapses once the foreigner goes, taking Afghanistan back to square 1. Thus foreigners, not Afghanistanis, are the problem!!

  Drekx,
  
  I have watched that vid and enjoyed it. Thanks for posting it. I like when someone take a random vid around a country. It shows more accurately about that country than any media does.
  
  But don't you see that Afghanistan is not that 'mess' they want us to believe? Talibanis are just like other pple. They can be reasoned with, befriended etc. They just don't go shooting unprovoked etc.

  In the UK we have had zero covid restrictions, for at least 9-Months...No masks, no compulsion to vaxx, no closed shops and bars, no social distancing, no lockdowns, no scanning aps, nada...
  👍🏻😁
  
  In Red China, contrastingly, they have suffered a zero-covid policy, and all listed restrictions, plus, they have gone totally totalitarian, with massive isolation camps, for thousands, maybe millions of their poor citizens....And the CCP are so insane, that they are actually proud to promote these concentr... err, camps, with musical videos, of pathological levels of sociopathetic new world orderly, manic fruit-loopery, that only Red China could arrange...I truly hope they are joking, but I suspect it is all absolutely true...Well, watch the video evidence....Watch this vid and be ASTONISHED.....At how the CCP is truly one long bad dream...errrr.. nightmare....😲

If so, let us know...And watch this vid, in which the Free Speech Union, had it's account suspended, along with similar groups, challenging lockdowns and covid mandates, etc...

  I have no issue with Iranian people, nor Afghan people and sometimes the dogmas of political control can interfere in lives and need to be highlighted...
  I will gift Roaring and all those interested, with a tour of Kabal, obviously a virtual one, but one from the real life perspectives of an English tourist, who documented his trip, fairly and objectively, to Kabal and observed life in the Afghan capitol city, as far as he was able to...This was posted on YouTube a couple of days ago and included the celebrations of the Taliban victory, which was after a full year had elapsed...
  
  You will find that Afghans have far more respect for the British, than they do for Americans and they look back in history at the British Empire, as a better one, than others....They have a strong sense of patriotism and even though Islam may colour it, it is the patriotism and sense of cultural identity, that guides them above all else...If anyone else thinks that Afghanistan should be invaded I would recommend that they give it up, as it won't work...(I did advise Bush Jnr, not to invade and he ignored me.)
  
  The video is presented well by this English guy, who seems to be a junk food fanatic, but contrary to what people might assume about Afghanistan, you can dose up on junk food there, also...If you want to...As well as all the mod cons, including internet...
  
  As far as the equivalent to America's famous right to bear arms, Afghans with the cash, can go down to the store and buy just about any firearm, grenade, or rocket launcher....
  
  The vid is fairly long, but well worth your time......I will also state that Afghanistan still has terrorism, but it is being conducted AGAINST the people and government of the Emirate, by ISIS.......
  
  ISIS was the group created by the dark cabal in Iraq......They are now attacking the free Afghans.....
  
  Roaring, view this vid and let me know what you think......It is very revealing.

  I too like Persia so much. It is there where many modern concepts, we take for granted, such as human rights and religious tolerance was spearheaded. Cyrus was a great leader. However, I beleive that there is a deep connection between shiism and this ancient society. Notice how shiism extends gradually to Iraq, then to Syria, then to Bahrain and then jumps Saudi Arabia to Yemen just like how Persian empire expanded! If Zoriastrians etc reasonated with Shia Islam, then so be it. They must have seen how they resonated. So Shia Islam might tell us something about Zoroastrianism etc.

  I have no issue with the ancient Persians of Cyrus...Noting that they were not moslems then...They were zoroastrians and there are even some practitioners still, in modern Iran...
  If you observe the so-called "Islamic Republic," it is but a drop in the ocean of time....Ancient Persia was interesting for any student to delve into...In contrast, the policies of modern Iran can only cause the student of history to sigh....
