What the fuck? The war on Afghanistan was never for democracy and human rights. The political situation there has been getting quite worse than it originally was after the US stepping in. And if you'd like to take it that far, the 'fundamentalists' that established their 'tyrannical rule' there fifty years ago where originally funded by the US, because of the vast geopolitical importance of the ground that goes from Lybia to Afghanistan. Resources in oil, footing towards the east, cold war communism twarting, you name it. The US played it's role in part of the major transnational conglomerates, and you're talking about women's rights? Fucking Osama Bin Laden was then recruited, trained and sent there to destroy the Afghan Communist regime. And to top it all off, the struggling fractions that they've got there now aren't any better in terms of 'democratic spirit' than the ones they took down, they're just more easy to manipulate by the US.

Where exactly do human rights come into play? How much do you know about that situation?
