In a rambling voice message on Monday, the country’s minister for the promotion of virtue and prevention of vice announced the bizarre new restriction on women’s behaviour.

Got any suggestions? We tried bombing them to the stone Age, we tried training their military to avoid jihadist radicals taking over. The EU court ruled that just being a woman from Afghanistan is enough reason to get asylum. And the people from there that actively committed to lasting difference over the last 2 decades have either left the country, are in hiding or dead. It's horrific.

maybe handing morality down from on high doesn't work

What morality?

Allowing training camps for al queda in your country and train their terrorists to spread terror will get you kicked in the teeth? Cause and effect.

Because as far as I know there was no other reason for the invasion.

While we where there we did not allow wholesale enslavement of women and some of the other things jihadist would love to do to people when in charge.

So what of those things do you disagree with, can you enlighten me? Should we have let the terrorists train there? Or should we have let their jihadist laws enslaving women be left on the books while we where there.

the issue goes back much further than the physical invasion. morality has to be cultivated from within. it's not enough just to be right

Sure, but it is not as if nothing was tried once the country was invaded. It was just a quagmire and the power brokers of the country can function under the US or the Taliban.. they don't care about anything but their tribe and their bottom line.
