Subject: RE: BS: Canada ends combat role in Afghanistan
With all due respect Teibus the governments first election was that they were handpicked by the USA. The second election was corrupt as Hell. As for human rights the government passed legislation allowing men to starve their wives if they refused to provide sex. The Taleban at least stopped poppy production but that is again the major cash crop, although the Taleban now use it for their own funding. Nothing works except a system of bribes and foreign money is mostly diverted to the pockets of the most powerful warlords. Farmers only support those who allow opium production. As I said a basket case!
