If the people are being suppressed so much and are being threatened with death, then there really isn't much opportunity for them to stand up and voice their dissentions with the government. Afghanistan is one of those places that violence and absolute relgious control ruined the people. If it was not for outside involvement, that country would still be under a Taliban government.

While the world hates to see the US get involved in foreign affairs, it's difficult for us not to. Foreign aid is a tough job and it can't just be a blank check and nothing else all the time. I don't think our military needs to be on the offensive, but I do think a good cause derserves our involvement.
