Videos show Taliban not really changed, child bride being forcibly taken screaming, whippings

I am not attempting to be purposefully uncouth, but men in the Middle East need to grow spines. The root of many of their problems is weak men. Even pagans will often defend their children.
They have been ruled by strongmen since their beginnings going all the way back to Babylon and Assyria then Greece then Rome then the Seleucids then the Ottomans and then Great Britain.
The second that Trump said we were going to withdraw years ago, likeminded men of Afghanistan should've formed their version of militias and been prepared and staged to take over at least 1 province as a "free" or at least Non-Barbaric province. Why did they not do that?
The things that Middle Eastern men tolerate over there wouldn't even fly back here. The only flying over here would be bullets from us hillbillies, rednecks and general "Overmountain Men" violently resisting anybody attempting to take our children from us, government, Talibabble or anything in between.

Nameless faces, Nameless Numbers...whether Soviets, or Taliban, they are ground up and consumed.
I thought of the story of Lara when seeing that video.
After Zhivago's death Lara happens upon his funeral by chance, as so much of their relationship has been. In death they seem fated to meet, even as in life. She mourns him and their lost life together. She is angry that he abandoned her in the way that he did. And though Zhivago abandoned her in hopes that it would bring her safety, Lara's disappearance destroys that hope. Zhivago's abandonment of her was fruitless.
The last sentence of chapter 15 is one of the most poignant sentences of the novel: Lara is "forgotten as a nameless number on a list which was later mislaid, in one of the innumerable mixed or women's concentration camps in the north."
It is the cold indifference of the line that gives it such power. The most tragic result of the tragedies that took place during Lara's lifetime, the tragedies that were so influenced by the transformation of Russia into the Soviet Union, is the dehumanization of everyone, including Yury and Lara.

Taliban Kill Woman for Not Wearing Burqa, Feminists Silent (trendingpolitics.com)
She was not fully covered so that only her eyes were showing.

Aren't the Arab, Ishmaelite, descendant of Easy races behaving exactly as God said they would?
Fair point. Yes, they are indeed. Their lack of backbone is still infuriating though.
VIOLENCE AND DESPERATION
As the Taliban shoot dead protesters and whip crowds in Afghanistan after initial charm offensive, many mothers have been throwing their babies over wire fences to get them to safety.
A Parachute Regiment officer recalled the situation, saying: “The mothers were desperate, they were getting beaten by the Taliban. They shouted ‘save my baby’ and threw the babies at us, some of the babies fell on the barbed wire. It was awful what happened. By the end of the night there wasn’t one man among us who was not crying”.
The Baron hotel, near the Kabul airport, has become the focal point where Afghans seeking refuge to go to the UK have been gathering. There are other points across Afghanistanthat citizens can reach to be evacuated.
