        Have you ever seen the doc "Afghanistan: The Great Game," it's really well done and covers a lot of this. (It's on Netflix now.)

        I recommend Rory Stewart's The Places in Between abt his walk across Afghanistan. Adventure along the old silkroad w/ historic commentary.

        U thought not knowing the people was the reason of US failing in Afghanistan. I replied it was not in my top 5 failure reasons.

        Is there no hope at all that the good people of the world will ever win over the evil? We must be so careful to vote for the best people

        It's funny... there was actually quite a bit of talk about this prior to our 2001 invasion. Never taken to heart.
