I agree with you Eric.......we are wrong to try and take western culture and ideals to the Afghanis(or anywhere else for that matter)......they do not want it......much as we do not wish to be islamised.

I can live cheek by jowl with people who accept me, and do not try and insidiously dilute my culture to match theirs...they came here(or their parents/grandparents) because they thought this country offered them a better place to live and bring up their families.
If this proves not to be the case...or they wish to live where sharia law is practised, then I am sure there are many countries that would be more than happy to take them.

We bend over backwards to avoid offending them.......what is that all about?
They CHOSE to come here.
