21. The Pashtun around Kandahar are notorious for raping and using young boys as sex objects

This is actually a very deeply ingrained part of their culture. It was there long before we were there and it will be there long after we're gone from there.

I am not in any way condoning it. Actually, it just about makes me sick to my stomach to think what these poor kids have to endure, but the point I am making is that this is not some byproduct of the Western presence in the region.
