Imagine you were finishing off your graduate degree and were suddenly told that because of how you were born, you’re no longer allowed in academia; further more, you aren’t allowed to work in a related field or leave the country without the permission of your legal guardian.
calls for yet another revolution like Iran, its fucking 2022, not the Stone Age >

When you refuse to take a seat at the table, you give up the chance to shape the outcome.
Since no military solution is on the table, isolating Taliban government alone doesn't actual solve any real problems, besides boasting empty talking points. >

What alternative would you suggest?
I'd prefer aid budgets be used where it'll actually help to reduce suffering in the medium to long term.
With the Taliban, providing food aid will just mean twice as many starving mouths to feed in two decades. No female education, no healthcare, no investment in economic growth.
Let's focus on helping nations where there is hope of socio-economic development to end the spectre of hunger and high birth rates. Afghanistan is ruled by those who'd prefer the stone age. >

That's you boasting political talking point. US has some responsibility in there after decades of occupation.
It's easy, hold your nose, sit down and negotiate. >

Religions are a pox on society, some more than others...but all a pox.
