There are many accomplished Afghan women who would disagree with that. For example, Manizha Paktin, a civil engineer from Mazar-e-Sharif, the daughter of a diplomat father and a journalist mother, is working to change views on women’s role in Afghan society. As the president of a construction company employing more than 40 workers, she is considered a leader in the Mazar-e-Sharif business community. Since the end of Taliban rule her company has constructed roads, bridges, and 46 schools in the district that include 12 schools for girls. And she is just one example among many. So, how can participation of women in government and civil society not be essential to economic development in Afghanistan?Originally posted by Teh Alchemist View PostNo.

Afghan women are doing much better, if they're not doing anything, do you see the point?Originally posted by Aria2013 View PostThere are many accomplished Afghan women who would disagree with that.

The more important question is if democracy is more important or the interest of Afghan people? In my view, we should not adopt democracy just because America, an undemocratic country, wants us to be democratic.
The choice for Afghan people is not Islamic fascism or democracy, we should revert to a sort of Afghan democracy, national council of elders elected through a grand jirga and then these elders would select two presidents who would rule with the jirga working as a sort of parliament.
Two presidents is important in case one of them dies or is out of the country. Also one Pashtun and one Tajik president and even from other ethnic groups, all based on merit.Last edited by Cobra; 05-20-2014, 11:13 PM.

America supports the democratic process in Afghanistan. And Afghans showed the world they want democracy by casting their votes for the candidates of their choice. From young to old, men and women all went to polling centers despite threats on their lives. The voter turn out was a welcoming surprise to all.Originally posted by Cobra View PostThe more important question is if democracy is more important or the interest of Afghan people?

You consider that a democracy? where else in the world 6000 election workers were fired for vote rigging??
Look at all the so called democracies in the region and point to a successful democracy. In India, they just elected a Hindu-fascist who looked on as Mulsims were massacred and THAT is the only reason he was elected. Those Indian snakes hate Muslims with a passion, its just that they can hide it better... Thanks to the Nuclear weapons of Pakistan, which are named after our illustrious ancestors, and the Chinese powa and support, that Hindoo-Nazi filth is kept in check.
We don't need American bs democracy and we don't need Taliban stupidity, we want something that is Afghan and traditional.

Firstly, don't you think Afghan people have made it very clear that they want democracy by casting their votes for the candidate of their choice? Have you watched the Afghan news outlets including social media during elections? No one has forced voters to go to voting centers and cast their ballets, they have done that on their own and at their own will. Secondly, it is not realistic to expect everything to go perfect, sure there will be shortcomings but the process has started and Afghans have paved the way forward. And finally, the fact that election workers who allegedly have been involved in vote rigging are being held accountable is a sign that things will only get better and lesson learned. Don't you agree?Originally posted by Cobra View Post6000 election workers have been fired for vote fraud.
