I guess we should not make the mistake to call this "They do not want democracy". The majority of Afghans had no education, no chance to learn/think/reflect about democracy - most of them are indoctrinated from birth by fanatics or feudal "elders".
It is a complete other story what are the costs, in human lives, money and resources to change this. So it would be better to call this "We are not ready to pay the price to change such a system" - without any intention to judge this concerning morality....
