And the historic patriarchalism and the corrupted regimes throughout the Islamic world you still would not have defeated by that even if you were victorious in wiping out Islam alone.

Come on man you know that's not what I meant although your sentiment is good. I clearly said 'those who helped us' in Afghanistan. We can't save them all but we could save the ones that will be in the most danger. The ones we owe at least our consideration for the position they are in.
From the Toronto Star article I posted.

Last year “anti-government elements,” as the United Nations calls them, killed or injured 1,077 Afghans in a terrifying campaign of targeted killings.
And they are stepping up the pace of assassinations. In the first four months of 2013, preliminary figures show a 46 per cent rise in targeted killings compared with the same period last year, said Georgette Gagnon, representative of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in Afghanistan.

My guess is that it will only get worse. All countries that employed Afghan civilians should do their best to get at least the people that are being threatened and their families out. Seems like the decent thing to do.
