Biggest problem is people don't understand Afghanistan.
Afghanistan isn't part of the middle east. It's part of South Asia. It was the gateway on the silk road - the most important trading route between Europe, Middle East, India and China back in the ancient days.
History has shown no country can truly rule it and that it is a heavily cultured and intense region. In the 70s' before Russia attacked them, they were very modern, but to protect the country a lot of radical and conservative Muslims came to the country to fight the Russians and ended up staying long after to reshape it into their own religious paradise.
