Who said "we" were going to get rid of this kind of thing? It can't be done that way. It'll be Muslims who get rid of it. Trying to imnpose stuff like that from outside just makes it a lot harder for changes like that to happen.

In fact it tends to have the reverse effect. The situation for non-Muslims in Afghanistan is far worse than it was before the USA and friends powered up the Mujahadeen against the Russian backed givernment; and in Iraq it's far worse for them than even under Saddam.
