>The Taliban regime is going to be hostile to women. It'll be a return to violence, executions, and feudalism. Yet I see a lot of liberals that have no problem with a Taliban takeover and would rather see a US withdrawal.

There are hundreds of countries where women are treated like shit, of which Afghanistan is but one.

Perhaps the people who want to see a withdrawal realize that America-as-World-Police isn't sustainable, and serves only to kill scores of American service members, to say nothing of countless Afghan civilians, while lining the pockets of executives at Raytheon, Lockheed-Martin, and General Dynamics.

Perhaps a better solution would be curbing domestic racism and xenophobia in the United States and inviting these women to immigrate.
