Stop trying to interject our western values onto another country's social structure. How would you like if they did the same to us? You wouldn't! We went there to get Osama bin Laden. Job complete - even though he wasn't there. We were in Afghanistan too long. British and Soviets learned that lesson long ago.

As the Islamist insurgents enter the capital, many fear a disintegration of women’s rights, with the Taliban overturning the freedoms gained during the 20 years since US-led forces helped oversee the country’s transition to democracy.

"The Taliban will regress freedom at all levels and that is what we are fighting against," an Afghan government spokesperson told Reuters on August 13.

"Women and children are suffering the most and our forces are trying to save democracy. The world should understand and help us."
