What is your idea of responding to Taliban atrocities?

Or atrocities of other fanatic regimes.

When they are not taking place in your country, is there a point where the free world should intervene?

Is there something you think should be done?

I will simply offer up my prayers and suffering for the confusion and sickness afflicting our world to cease. Good luck with that lol!

I wish it were clear what each of us can do.

Evil tends to implode and destroy itself a lot.

I feel deep sorrow for a lot of these terrorist "religious students" who are recruited and brainwashed to be that way.

I don't think they are often aware of how sick and confused they are.

I remember what it was like to be angry and hateful. It is a joyless place to be without peace. Being unloved, abused, brainwashed, and under pressure is often the cause

Also, there is enough suffering right where I live , and perhaps I shouldn't be thinking about Afghanistan.

Just curious what your idea of a solution is?

Too many vested interests with the US getting involved. We are only over there because the Taliban wouldn't play ball with the US government. Otherwise we'd have been happy to let them go about their business.

IDK, maybe the UN would do better/be more focused on humanitarian concerns. No guarantee that though.

Governments have self-interests which may not always be of benefit to the people they deal with. Theocracy makes it difficult to allow the Taliban to see a new way.
Lucky we have western idealism which limits the power of government over people.

Western idealism vs religious theocracy. Took us 100's of years and many lives to get out from under that thumb.
I read the old Taliban are wiser, more progressive. It's the young that are radicalized, more certain of their idealism.

Those people have their own country, and they’ve had it for a long long time.

It isn’t my business to interfere.

Every human free in life's presence was abused by group cult mentality that overthrew natural family life.

We know man woman equal mutual in life for holy life continuance. In created natural form. No argument exists in basic human advice.

Then we dictate group cult mentality based on personality types. The groups whose father believe the same.

That basic humane advice says no human should have to beg or pray to a higher power to save them from family chosen atrocities.

About time some world legal agreement for family was passed and agreed upon as a communal family law.

Seeing law itself is stated by humans to be its spiritual agreement as one holy status a human.

So far, all I know that they are doing is retaking the country. I don't know of any specific atrocities at this time. But that does not mean there are not any. It just means I don't know of any. But I cannot deal with what I do not know to exist.

Let's hope this is a kinder, gentler group of religious extremists bent on the destruction of all that are not them.

At this moment in time, all i can do is observe and try to understand what is going on, and pray that they do not rule the country the same way they did last time. And that woman and kids are safe.

This is a very tricky situation and the answers are not clear

Would you say that to all the women in that country?

Yes, I’m not sexist.

I prefer not to interfere in other people’s lives. Men or women.

Especially, if they live on the opposite side of the planet.

I might dedicate my energies (what little still remains) to combat all the evil going on right in my own community.

But women's lives under the Taliban are being disrupted.
If you saw a woman being abused by a bullying man in your local shop would you ignore it?

Welcome any refugees that come into my country.

Stand by the moderate Muslims who will be tarred with the same brush as the Taliban.

Give to an charity helping the Afgans.

It is very little, it is not going to change the world, but everyone doing just a tiny bit does add up.

There are some funds going to help displaced Afghans and some other funds going to educate women. I am not sure about the latter one, as someone pointed out I would fear the Taliban seizing the funds. But I plan on donating biweekly to the first kind instead of my other donations I’d normally make for a while.

Of course not. Thank you for asking Altfish.
That is kind of my point.
My hands our full with problems near me.
I can hate the evil done on the other side of the world, but my energy and resources only go so far.
There are nearly as many people in poverty in the US, as there are people total in Afghanistan. I want to do what I can to assist with that problem while I still can. Many women and children in that category.

Well, that is entirely up to the Afghan people now. They were givin the reigns and the means.

Their decision and their consequence.

There's only so much that can be done now aside from helping those that helped us at their own risk, get out if the country proper, and givin the proper reward of citizenship if they desire.

We as a collective of nations should have and should be expediting the process for assylum.

Though morally there are some very very bad places in the world. Afghanistan is about to become one of them. But Saudi Arabia has been one for a long long time and the US is a great Advocate of the Saudis.
