As the west leaves suicides in Afghanistans most liberal city increase

It isn't? Coming into a country that had once stability, even perhaps under the Taliban(former western puppet), and then dividing the population between NATO supporters and Taliban supporters and then moving out all of a sudden, will leave people in fear. Collaborators will now fear for their lives. Perhaps you should take them with you and give them asylum in your own lands if you feel bad about it.

I'm sure there are Afghani women who long for the days when the Taliban ruled. Like two. I can see how a vacuum created by the West could muddy things, but to claim these women's issues wouldn't be if it wasn't for Western interference goes too far. They're just more visible. I don't agree that the stability pre-occupation was such hot shit, either.

If I had the means, I'd love to do a swap...Afghanistan's females for America's fundies. Win/win!

You don't agree? Well having a country that produced few amounts of opium(the Taliban was burning their fields, and of course punishing those who had planted them) before the occupation, and one that breaks production records every year speaks for instability friend!
I prefer the worst stability over the best instability any time.
Besides, I know not much about the women there, I've never been to Afghanistan to speak of it. Though it is a fact that they are mistreated, especially within the ranks of the taliban, who performs actions which are not necessarily in accordance with Islamic law(such as cutting off limbs, noses, ears and other body parts of women) it is also a fact that the Taliban also has a lot of support amongst the populace, very much like the Vietcong did, although they had applied similar methods to dissidents and NATO sympathisants, by killing them in horrible ways, and dumping their bodies in mass graves.
The thing is, people will pick the worst native over the best foreigner at any time. Especially the Afghans, who value independence.
Besides, I don't know what you're going to do with a whole lot of Pashtos and Tajiks. There are a certain number of my own kinsmen in Afghanistan, Turkmens and Uzbeks, whom I'd like to relocate to our lands, though the rest are really not my concern. I'm just telling you that these news are there to increase the amount of support for the war in the west, nothing more nothing else.
