“Women and girls, especially young girls, are the most unprotected people of Afghanistan. They are raped, kidnapped and murdered,” Shaima says.

Just last week, a 3-year-old girl was kidnapped and raped by unidentified men, a government official confirms. The toddler was later released and, the official says, is recovering.

If Japan is any indication, at most we’d have to cope with some goofy monster movies twenty years from now, made by an instantly smartened-up ally who’d abandoned their death cult religion.

Alas, since Afghani IQs are markedly lower than Japanese ones, we won’t have any cool but useless gadgets, toys and cartoons to look forward to.
