You do realize that the US has been intervening in Iran and
Afghanistan for decades, right? The Soviet war in Afghanistan, during the late 80s in which the US was involved in support of the
Mujahideen, widely considered to be the cause of blowback. Speaking of blowback, the Iranian revolution against the US-backed Shah in the late 70s. A few decades is hardly enough time for "continuous improvement."

Of course. That was more or less the point.
The U.S.-backed Shah of Iran (who was, let's make no mistake, an authoritarian dictator) was ejected and women's rights immediately took a profound backward step.
Do you deny it?
More or less continuous improvement over time. Unlike what we've seen in, say, Afghanistan and Iran.
Your point?
