Guest[quote=Russell]Ottamojo, while what you posted about is awful,I don’t think it relates to the current administration’s justification for the war. You can correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t the current administration promoting the war on only on the idea that it is the best place to fight “terrorism”? There was a lot of culture based propaganda to gain sympathy for the wars early on. I think you have to take that with a grain of salt.
[/quote]I agree Russell, the current administration is more focused on terrorism as the main reason for engagement in the region.
The previous administration sold bringing peace, democracy, prosperity and freedom to Iraq and Afghanistan. They only brought death and destruction.
The issue of pedophilia is nothing new and was written about as early as 2002. It turns out that US intervention in Afghanistan brought on a resurgence of it.
Yes, US authorities were fully aware of it dating back to the start of the invasion of Afghanistan.

Cognitive dissonance at its finest- just to be clear, I have nothing against homosexuality, it’s the pedophilia and the treatment of women as sub-human there that irks me.[/quote]
Making a course correction, based on the the forums rules, is this not just another example of the difficulties in international and global ethical relativism in the modern era?
Are our values any more appropriate than theirs? Here is a good example. We continue to lambaste other counties about human smuggling and trafficking but choose not to end the same practice that is occurring on our own border. What is a crime overseas is considered a politically acceptable form of migration here. The example given from Afghanistan is no different regardless of how horrible I think it is.[/quote]
Academic arguments are nice but I don’t think I will be cutting off my daughter’s nose any time soon or throwing acid into classrooms that happen to have girls.
