That's why we have so many bug-eyed Afghanis?


I don't believe anyone will ever be able to conquer Afghanistan. It
will take an autochthonous government to control that country and

fell, and the borders on the map a western invention of convenience.
Loyalty is to clan/village/sect, not to nation-state.
