Most of the “Afghan people” have no concept of Afghanistan as a “nation”. They are essentially illiterate stone-age farmers and villagers who know only the approximate boundaries of their own villages and could care less about this thing other people call “Afghanistan”.

Nation? What nation?

The place is home to the world’s heroin supply (and there are also fields of marijuana as far as the eye can see, by the way). It’s about the money. It’s always about the money.

I couldn’t argue with what you’re saying by any means. Though I would have to add ‘Power” along with the money. Which equals control.

This plays our throughout the world between nation leaders, families, work...and it’s within all small community governments as well. But with Afghanistan you have the additional issue of abuse....toward woman and children, and each other.... Physical, Sexual and Mental Abuse. So you are dealing with an entire mentally and emotianlly damaged society. Which we know can often produce mentally unstable people as adults.
