Portuguese Coach of Iran erupts when asked by BBC reporter about Iran protest: why dont you ask the American & UK coaches what they did to Afghanistan

[basquebromance]

The Taliban have just BANNED women from buying SIM cards. They have told shops not to sell to women in Afghanistan. This is outrageous! This decision will remove women’s access to outside world & human rights violations will become impossible to document.

The withdrawal was going to occur eventually. It didn't go as planned and it did defy intelligence recommendations to maintain a small presence. Once it went away, to the shock of even intel, the Afghans were gone just as quick, probably realizing the danger they were in.

men are such pigs.

What are we supposed to do, give the vote to women? Oh wait we did that and America has been going down hill ever since.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

men are such pigs.

No
People in general are pigs.
If women were to become as dominant as the men are in Iran, in no time they would be just the same.

The United States should have been in-and-out of Afghanistan in six months after the beginning of the assault.

* Smash the Taliban hosts of al-Qaida.
* Exterminate al-Qaida.
* Prevent al-Qaida survivors from crossing the Afghan-Pakistan border and slaughter them as they are found
* Withdraw completely, leaving them staggering-about in the smoking ruins

But, no... we stupidly tried to Nation-Build again amongst primitives with no concept of any form of government other than autocracy or theocracy.

Every American life lost beyond that six-month mark (or whenever it was once al-Qaida had been smashed and its survivors sent running for their lives) and every American life shattered by war-wounds and trauma and every American taxpayer dollar and every piece of American military equipment lost beyond that same short-term time mark was completely and entirely wasted to no good purpose. Both the Bush and Obama Administrations are jointly to blame for this.

If the Afghan people lack the courage or the motivation or the organizing skills or the competency to establish and maintain civilized rule then that's on them.

Hell... if the United States did anything... it was to give Afghans a taste of the outside world and how good it is out there and how $hittye their own country is.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step... you can't fix it if you don't know it's broken... one day the Afghans will eventually get this sorted out.

Besides... when was the last time that the Portugese did anything worth-a-damn?... other than enslaving and cross-breeding Brazilians for centuries, I mean...
