boemTwo years under Taliban rule in Afghanistan: ‘I never thought the world would forget about us so quickly’
I'm not sure what people want, exactly. 20 years of occupation wasn't enough to change their culture even a little bit. Do they want permanent American occupation? That's clearly untenable for many reasons. I don't want America to be the world police, and I don't want them invading countries on moral grounds.
Any aid given to Afghanistan immediately ends up in the hands of the Taliban now.

And yet the linked story above tells you about people whose lived were changed for the better during the fall of the Taliban. What you’re trying to say is that not enough people were willing to fight to oppose the Taliban to continue living this way of life. Maybe they don’t want to be murdered. Maybe there’s not a strong enough resistance force to oppose them but it doesn’t mean there isn’t opposition to the Taliban.
It’s like saying when Franco conquered Spain in 1936 that everyone wanted fascism.
It was mainly women’s lives that were improved without the Taliban, and sadly those aren’t important enough.
