There is no need for me to rehash the plot of this film. Many others have done that.
It is a harrowing experience. However, something occurred to me after seeing it. Given the inhuman treatment of women by the Taliban, why did it take the attacks of September 11 to finally have the US decide to remove the regime. Winston Churchill said that you could always count on the US to do the right thing, after it has done everything else.
That we (the US) should attack Iraq because our commander in chief didn't like them and they acted poorly towards his father, yet we refrained from doing anything about the Taliban until we were attacked, reflects very poorly upon us.
