    As the U.S. winds down the Afghan war, Iran is moving in, spreading its influence by covertly helping the Talibanhttp://nyti.ms/2uc37Zr

        When was the last time no foreign power existed in Afghanistan? Can Afghans answer this?

        I believe the '40s or '50s - last time they were truly in charge of their own country for a time. Michener covered it in "Caravans."

        It was actually a pretty booming place, tourism was high, education was well. Locals have shown me photos -- it was amazing.

        I visited with a family near Bamiyan province and although photos are now prohibited, they retained some & the differences were stark. :(

        Afghanistan will be a problem until we go in with massive force and make it one big US airbase-location,location,location. Sorry but true.

        I actually don't find this alarming. Afghanistan has swallowed every invader for 2000 years. Sure they'll take arms from Iran...

        The US wars have enabled Iranian influence in both Iraq and AFG. They're proving a better fit for regional management than US policy.
