I mean, the thing nobody really likes to talk about is that one day, whether it's tomorrow or 100 years from now, something like that IS going to have to happen, in either case. It's inevitable. It's just that nobody wants to be the one to instigate it, because those solutions would be "mean" and heavy-handed. Even though they are in fact necessary solutions.
People don't like to admit it, but you can't look the other way and keep saying "Well, that's just their culture" FOREVER as countries commit massive human rights violations against their own people (and occasionally against other people). Eventually, those countries WILL have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the modern era and huge chunks of their respective "culture" are going to have to be put to bed for the good of the majority.
The only questions are When, and how much bloodshed will there be when it finally gets to that point. But when people just shrug with regard to places like Afghanistan and Mexico and say, "Well, we've got no business trying to 'fix' it anyways, that's their business"... that's defeatist and enabling. The fact is those places can't be allowed to continue on as they have. SOMEBODY has to fix it, and one day, they will. Probably not in any of our lifetimes, but eventually it has to happen.
It IS going to be a huge and bloody mess when that time comes, though. That's unavoidable. What we've been doing for the last couple of decades Over There... half-measures, at best. It's not that there ISN'T a proper solution, it's that someone would need to have the balls big enough to completely upturn the status quo AND be willing to shrug off a gigantic mountain of criticism they'd be inviting in the process. Like they'd have to be okay with being labelled a super-villain for the rest of their lives, in exchange for being vindicated a hundred years in the future after it all worked out for the best. I don't think anyone like that exists yet. Most politicians don't have the "vision" to see beyond the next election; that's generally why nothing important ever gets done.
