Much better than they were under the Taliban. And stop top posting,
it is rude.

For everyone who yells at you and says "Don't top post, it's confusing.",
there's another one who says "Don't bottom post, I don't want to scroll past
all the previous yatter."

Not on this group.

And thank-you, I won a wager that you'd say "Better than they were under the
Taliban" without offering any kind of supporting evidence or reasoning. How
many times have you been in Afghanistan? Why are *you* so authoritative on
the subject?

I have been there twice. You have absolutely no clue as to what is happening
in Afghanistan.

Things are better in Kabul and Khandahar. Elsewhere, they are much worse,
because the US and UK haven't lived up to their promises. There are children
starving to death there *right now* because our governments bailed on them.
Personally, I love my country, but I'm ashamed of the actions of it's
government.

You are incorrect (as usual). All of Afghanistan is better, much better, off.
There certainly are some problems (poppy production comes to mind)
but they are minor compared to the former Islamic theocracy. Do try to
do a little research.
