Nobody is saying the Afghan government is good. But it is definitely the lesser evil.
And at least the people can vote to change it.
That is exactly what I am talking about, this attitude that everything is okay if its democratic even admittedly something evil. Democracy is not from Afghanistan, Democracy is a Greek-European concept that is trying to be imposed globally, these societies have been following and refining their customs for generations before Democracy was even a thing, the system trying to be imposed is one that is "They need to vote on whether or not to do this regardless if it contradicts the will of the tribes, their religion and so on. Because this is the only way to be happy and we know best." It's arrogant.
What's really arrogant is this silly apologetic that certain peoples are not mature enough for democracy and needed to be ordered around like chattel by some tyrant.
If you claim to respect a people's choice then you have to respect their right to democracy as it is THE MOST representative OF THEIR CHOICES.
