On HN regularly posters demand the US not to impose their values upon other "cultures".
Then again - I don't believe this is part of Afgan culture at all anyway. I think that happens when survival bias due to war and destruction over a long period of time leads to very fucked up people climbing to the top of a society.
At the end of the day - or maybe rather at its start - the US is partly responsible for Afghanistan being trapped in a downward spiral.
Have a look at this (randomly chosen gallery) about Afghanistan in its 60s - I don't think that culture would be very fond of rapists.
