Originally posted by dadudemonSpecifically which data are you referring to? For example, based on the first graphic the % of children enrolled in a primary school seems to have more than quadrupled over the course of just 10 years (2001-2011), and the article specifically notes that conditions for women, in particular, are improving compared to life under the Taliban. Where are you reading that this was part of a preexisting upward trend?
You are most certainly free to think what you would like because that's just wonderful.But as your own post shows, they were already on an upward trend. The data does not fit your narrative. Looks like Afghanistan didn't need the USA's "freedom", eh?
