The women of Afghanistan now have rights they have never had before in history. The right to representation has been a man only game there. That is the main thing that has changed.
So to the Left and Right who are slamming the president on this issue, there are rights to be upheld and there are debts to be payed. Colon Powell was right 'if you break it you bought it'. President Obama didn't 'buy' Afghanistan, but he owns it now.
And if you look at the faces of the little girls of Afghanistan and think, if we pull out of town and in comes the Taliban right behind us, that is unacceptable.
The Green Revolution in Afghanistan is ongoing every day, as we don't see the people demanding the US leave and the overthrow of the government. They are poised for progress.
If the Taliban would enter into a brokered convention, allowing for them to run candidates and win elections, for all to vote and an open slate. That would be the ideal outcome.
