There are human rights violations and abuses all over the world -- isn't that supposed to be the duty of the U.N. to ensure that this doesn't happen? Unfortunately they have become part of the problem rather than the solution.
In that I agree with Ron and Rand Paul; it is not our duty to be the police of the world.
I don't expect anything from the U.N. Let me see if I get this right though. Trump makes a big mess in Afghanistan and the U.N. is supposed to make sure Taliban don't kill, rape, acid attack. Honor kill. Mutilate. Deny women all rights even to an education? What is the U.N. going to do about the Taliban? They are usually observers only. And rapists of little children.
I feel like I should apologize to you. Because everything you say I argue. I want to agree, but looking at it I can't. Sorry, though for the way I came across. This is a serious issue.
Maybe further comment. The idea of there is human abuses all over the world is undeniable. But it can get oh, so worse. Have you ever read Voice of Martyrs?
https://www.persecution.com/I thought it seems so easy to just say human abuses happen. I was thinking about this the other day at work. I don't think that Trump or his supporters are racist. I know many and they are very good friends. Good Christians. But if you really look at it this country is taking a nationalist attitude about the world. It doesn't jive with the Bible. We have a great commission to go to the World and tell people about Jesus Christ. And we have been a nation for the good even when it hurts, and it does. I would never belittle the suffering of families from the losses that we have sustained in the ME.
And I am not a rich person. We live paycheck to paycheck most of the time. It would be very easy for me to embrace the "MAGA" if it meant more for me and my family. But there is something bigger. Christianity isn't a nationalist religion. We need to care about people. We need to care about our brothers and sisters in Christ. We need to care that extremist terrorists groups do not gain power and drive Christians out of their homes.
I am passionate about it.
And Christianity is growing in Afghanistan

That country is Afghanistan.
Not to diminish this fact, but one reason the growth rate appears high is because the evangelical population is so small to begin with. Still, this trend is confirmed by all of our ministry partners working with Afghans both inside and outside the country. There is, without a doubt, a significant, identifiable work of God, such as never before, taking place among Afghans today.

But our military has sacrificed so that this place can move forward away from terrorism. Even if you hate Christianity you must hate terrorism worse. We are getting ready to go full backwards to a dark place of Extremism in Afghanistan.
And before I go for the night. Whether or not a person is a believer in Jesus they most certainly do not want terrorist attacks on U.S. soil. To just withdraw and allow Taliban and ISIS to have their way is insane. No person in their right mind would believe that the Taliban is going to change their beliefs because of an American negotiated peace deal. Especially one that undermines the legal elected Afghanistan government. Even if corruption exists they are not ISIS or Taliban.
