I watched this video last evening on the recommendation of another Freeper. It was very informative. It was about the history of Afghanistan and the complexities and difficulties of controlling a splintered country which has corruption at its core.

Many great powers have tried their hand at converting Afghanistan to a democracy and they have all failed miserably. The US, the Russians, Great Britain all thought they were smarter than the Afganis and could install a stable democracy into the country but in the end realized they could not.

After watching the film and reading about the Taliban taking over the country, I can assure you there will never be another golden age of Afghanistan.
