Yes always the US fault, 20 million Afghans have no influence on their own destiny. The vacuum of leadership has bred so many attempts at peaceful development in the country in all regions. So many great leaders have stepped up. The raging religious fanatics have kept themselves in check. Industry leaders have built numerous sustainable large-employment organisations, and conscientious civil servants have built well functioning governance in medical care and the juidicial system, and built solid and well-maintained infrastructure. Agriculture has developed so much beyond opium and was able to sustain the population.

Then the US and NATO came and destroyed it all.
