Afghanistan, Again

Mr John McCreary, writing for Night Watch, talks about the
Taliban beheading 17, including two women.
Afghanistan remains one of the worst places on Earth to be a woman.  Nevertheless, this atrocity in the name of Sharia, crossed the line for most Muslims, even Pashtuns.
Counterinsurgency is hard, very hard, but it is, in the end, about helping people achieve self-governance, even if it isn't the exact form we would pick for ourselves.

Which brings us to the question of what we owe to the people cross town.

What do we owe the people of Afghanistan
