Democracy is new to this part of the world. There is going to be growing pains. It took women and minorities 150 years to be equal in our own country. Some would argue that they still don't have the same rights, should we throw in the towel? These people actually got to vote. In the beginning of our history only people who owned property were allowed to vote.
Problems do not just disappear because you become a democracy. It's going to take years of hard work to make it work. I believe that it's worth the effort for the people of Afghanistan and for the rest of the free world. I just hope the people of Afghanistan have the spine of our forefathers because if they are like us now they are definitly doomed for failure.
