That's very Ace Cockburn of you. US desegragation is a good
argument against those who say the US Federal government
is uniquely evil and can never do any good anywhere at anytime.
Which is why it must annoy some people when it's brought up.
Also, Afghanistan was/is pretty backward and primitive and violent.
And the Taliban were sexist if not racist.
