A glass car park stretching from the west bank through to the india /pakistan border would stop most of this crap.

Reminds me of Japanese abuse of girls during and after WWII. This sort of abuse seems to be recognized as some sort of cultural event, surprisingly accepted by the culture of the ruling military. My observation, not an excuse. Not unlike raping and pillaging their enemy, they do it to their own people in a sort of 'that's what soldiers do' way. Just another reason for the rest of us to be the policemen of the free world.

What needs to be remembered is that the huge majority of Afghan citizens want nothing more than to get on with their lives without fear of either the Taliban or their own rulers.
THOSE are the ones worth the effort.
You have to remember that the abusers & criminals are a tiny minority & they're newsworthy whilst some poor sod trying to run a furniture business isn't worthy of a single column inch.
