    Interesting thing about Afghanistan is that according to the UN, each government of a country is well within their rights to how they run their country within their own borders.

    Yes, genocide and loss of freedom are frowned upon and sanctions are called - but as it is the religion and view of the country they are left to it. We can’t push western values on another country.

      Ah, yes, remember when the Taliban was democratically elected by the people of Afghanistan?

      … oh. It wasn’t?

      The idea that half of the people in a country are still people even if they had the audacity to be born without a penis shouldn’t be a “western value”. Read the article again and find a book or two about what goes on over there before suggesting that we follow the UN version of Starfleet’s Prime Directive.
