George Bush: Afghan girls no longer have the opportunity to flourish their talents

Bush delivered these remarks on Wednesday night at the ceremony marking the twenty-fifth anniversary of the September 11 attacks at his presidential center in Dallas. He said that all human beings desire freedom and that the citizens of Afghanistan know well the difference between freedom and tyranny.


The former U.S. president, referring to girls who were going to school for the first time and women who were becoming doctors and university professors, said they knew the difference between a free society and a tyrannical one. He emphasized that the current deprivation of Afghan women and girls from these opportunities is regrettable.


In another part of his speech, Bush described the September 11, 2001 attacks as a turning point in his presidency and said that this event, which occurred just eight months after the start of his presidency, transformed him into a "wartime president." In these attacks, nearly three thousand people were killed, and four hijacked planes crashed in New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.


He said that after the attacks, his administration prioritized protecting America and preparing for a military response, since al-Qaeda was operating from Afghanistan under Taliban control. After the Taliban refused America's demand to hand over Osama bin Laden and other al-Qaeda leaders, the United States and its allies began airstrikes against Taliban and al-Qaeda positions on October 7, 2001; a war that lasted nearly two decades.



George W. Bush, the former president of the United States, has expressed regret over the restrictions imposed on the education and work of girls and women in Afghanistan and stated that women who had only recently come to realize their true capabilities have now lost the opportunity to fully develop their talents.
