It's not like we didn't try. It was just an unwinnable war. History teaches that Afghanistan is not a country to invade.

I think the world does not have the requisite, recent experience on how to do nation building with primitive societies.

The foreign forces are as much responsible for Afghanistan today as Afghans. This data is not giving us any good news. I wonder sometimes that maybe when the Taliban were ruling, Afghanistan was a more peaceful place than today.

Since 79, Afghanistan has been in a state of war one way or another . That's about 37 years of constant war . I dont think any other country has experienced such prolong decades of war. Palestine maybe?cant think of any other place .
