Sorry to burst the bubble of those who think " All will be good" in Afghanistan.
But there is an old saying, that if you don't learn from the past, you're doomed to repeat it! The last successful invasion of Afghanistan was by Alexander the Great. That was a few years ago. A big issue is the planting of poppies, and subsequent distruction of some of those crops. If other crops were planted that allowed the farmers to support their families, and raise up the standard of living of those families, much of the problems there, I believe would disappear. This is a situation of the Haves vs. The Have-Nots. This also dogs the Isrelies vs. The Palestinians.
