[QUOTE="Albion, post: 76217489, member: 93831"] In the original post, you asked if "arrogant" Western nations have the right to tell non-Western cultures how to live. But here you are only arguing that we didn't handle the Afghanistan matter well. Yes, that's certainly true! But that goes to the mismanagement credited to one incompetent administrator who chose to waste every good thing that the West had accomplished in Afghanistan...and do it in a few weeks' time at that! So now that Afghanistan faces a terrible future, does that mean that Western nations made a mess of the place? Well, no. In fact, much that had been accomplished--and now is certainly going to be undone under the Taliban--had been to the good and, now that it is jeopardized, the people are certainly terrified and have good reason to feel that way.
