While I was there we always referred to it as "Asscrackistan".

And yet, the sorts of people who have no problem with having sex with children/child brides have the audacity to say the West is immoral. E.g. Hamza Tzortis. He said nine year old marrying is fine in a debate.

Of course he did. To say otherwise would mean saying that Mohamed(feces be upon him) was an immoral child rapist.

It's a shame we're there. Such "cultures" aren't worth a drop of American blood.
It's also a shame we can't simply shoot every one of those molesters. Fucking monsters.

Absolutely everything about that "culture" is ass-backwards. I'm wondering when exactly defending culture became more important than defending actual people.
It's the paradox of it that kills me. Servicemen no less, who are there to stamp out extremism and protect people like those boys, can't intervene.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

That's the thing, in the U.S.'s case at least, we're not defending culture. We're defending our own self-interests, and if a few little brown boys get raped along the way, that's just collateral damage.
It's a shitty world out there, and we can't stop all culturally ingrained human rights violations like this without overextending ourselves and collapsing. But when we Americans prance around like the police of the world while turning a blind eye to terrible criminal acts right in front of our faces, it's blatant hypocrisy, and that's what kills me.
We Americans like to see ourselves as the arbiters of freedom, but our actions show that we're only looking out for #1. It's enough to make me want to start breaking stuff when I think about it.
