I mean it's fair to be horrified at how a despotic theocracy has quickly overtaken Afghanistan and that terrible things are likely to happen to a huge number of people as a result.
The issue here is selective empathy and the fact the Taliban remaining in control of Afghanistan for the last 20 years (if they lasted that long) would have likely resulted in LESS suffering than the American occupation caused.
Like in Iraq, Saddam Hussein was bad but the Americans were 1000x worse.

@CountScrofula do you really think women would have been better off for the last twenty years under Taliban rule?
