At some point the Palestinians thought Hamas was a solution to their Jewish problem. Afghans thought the Taliban were a solution to their specific problem. Both countries allowed these terrorist organizations to come in and govern them and we see the results. 

Choices have consequences.

So, you are ok with girls in Afghanistan being restricted from education at a very young age and staying home being servants to their husbands?  I assume you were ok with Slavery in the US back in the 1800s since that's what the elected officials decided.   I mean, Choices have Consequences and you really seem to be ok with any consequence coming from the choices of the people.

How you came to this conclusion from what I said is beyond me. 

I'm speaking in general terms not how I personally feel. Is it not a fact that actions have consequences regardless of the subject matter? Facts and feelings rarely work together in agreement. Speaking facts doesn't mean I agree with it.

Personally I find the innocent people in both countries to be in horrific situations. Women and children don't have a choice in these societies, especially in Afghanistan. We can thank the Palestinian men who chose this for their country. Sadly, the male children born into both regimes have likely been taught this is normal so they don't know any better and the cycle continues. 

There is nothing right or good about either situation but to say actions/choices didn't lead to consequences (their current situation) is to not see or acknowledge the reality of it all, regardless of how it makes us feel.
