Are excluding the world's largest democracy?Rwy in Sight wrote: ↑Sat Jul 31, 2021 4:44 amI was talking about those issues with a liberal friend just the day before yesterday. It seems Western democracy can't operate well between the Atlantic and Indochina save some particular cases like Israel and maybe Jordan. Maybe the largest mistake of the EU/US in recent times was to encourage the Arab Spring series of uprisings given how it turned in most areas for the citizens.
I am not so sure about Israel as I do not like apartheid.
Just what do you know about the Taleban? Have you ever seen a Taleb? Met one or had dinner with one? You do know I suppose that the Taleban laws are close to those of Saudi Arabia. That country seems a favorite of America and you must be careful not to fall out with the Septics.For Afghanistan the disrespect of human life by the Talibans make the situation particularly difficult.
