The only reason Afghanistan was bombed into the ruins of ignorance back at the Soviet invasion ,it was because of the Warlords ,Mullahs and villagers which mostly consisted of religious people.
When the Soviets invaded Afghanistan the main reasons were to install freedom at some extent and showing their capacity to the rest of the European countries (Mainly Britain and France) , giving rights for women to vote, girls and boys to go to school and setting up local governments.
The Mullahs and religious peoples went to the streets of Kabul and killed all the soviet soldiers and beheaded many of the advisers and took the girls out of school back to the farms.
And it this cycle is still happening over and over until we totally get rid off them.
