11. What do you want?

It's pedophile killing pedophile. Keeping kids like that is culturally acceptable there. You want to change their culture? I'd love to. It's disgusting that kids are treated like that. What do you want to do about it? What's your plan for dealing with it?

If the Taliban succeeds in killing the Afghani police officer, that's one less pedophile. If the officer ends up killing the Taliban, that's one less jackass that'll be there to shoot girls for getting an education.
That country has been a mess for a LONG time, way before bush got there. It wasn't exactly a democratic, liberal paradise until 2001. You want to change 500 years of tribal culture?
