We are not perpetuating the problem, we are witnessing it.
I'm not saying it wasn't happening, I'm saying it wasn't as rampant until we kicked the Taliban out. Everything we've been shown about this says the Taliban had made this illegal and it was not as much the norm. Then we kicked the Taliban out and put people in power that are involved in this. So through our invasion and creation of a power vacuum that we then filled, we perpetuated the problem.
