Agree, but I would just like to add the more compelling argument here is that most Afghan women faced significant repression in the last 20 years too.

The United States never really had much control over the country outside Kabul and other cities. Three-fourths of the population live in rural areas already under control of the Taliban or US-allied warlords who are as bad or worse than the Taliban.

Gains in terms of women's enrollment in school, literacy and participation in public life that occupation advocates cite as signs of progress are largely a reflection of the extent to which women live in cities.

But anti-war feminists like Malalai Joya argue that Afghan women will be better off without the United States in the long run.
