And your thoughts on how democracy, despite being the least effective approach to extracting resources and suppressing dissent, was pushed on them by the US?

Afghanistan wouldn't be under Taliban control today, if the US had installed a dictator and given them a free hand.

I think it worked out pretty well to enrich a handful of corporations and individuals at the expense of American taxpayers and brown lives.
That could have been done easily and better with an autocracy.
