Because human rights are so well-protected in Afghanistan, Somalia or other such failed states. The alternative to a functioning state is not some techno-anarchist utopia, its warlordism and feudalism. Even the Taliban were seen as preferable to that (they got their initial political capital by rescuing boys kidnapped by warlords to be used as catamites).
