Reply to comment by soonerfreak in Afghan malnutrition rates at record high, U.N. food agency says by AttilaTheMuun

Regardless if I agree or disagree with your statement, do you think that something should be done about the lack of food and human rights issue in Afghanistan? If so, what do you think should be done?

Hard no. The Taliban wanted to run that country and the population didn't care enough to stop them. This is not a situation where the population was defenseless. You're hard pressed to find any population better equipped to resist an oppressor. As far as I'm concerned, Afghanistan can figure out its problems on its own.

You didn't ask, but I feel exactly the same way about Pakistan. They spent 20 years working to destabilize Afghanistan, and if a Taliban run Afghanistan spreads violence and terrorism in Pakistan, then that's exactly what Pakistan wanted. I can't understand why we don't lump those backstabbers in with Iran.

Doesn’t matter if you agree or not. Facts are facts.

Provide aid and offer deals the Taliban will actually want to agree to and show proof of following through on. Just demanding they change but not making the top suffer for not changing isn't going to fix anything.
