Afghanistan: Are the people capable of change?

[mcantar18c]

I've said it before and I'll say it again...
Asscrackistan is a shithole, populated by shitheads, and when we pull out it will just revert back to the way it's been for centuries. We might save it from the Taliban, but we can't save it from the Afghans.

afanistan used to have ski resorts and has been on and off considered a tourism location. They used to have spas Nd pretty decent hotels. Not over the entire country, but enough to support multiple locations. The Taliban cam into the picture in the late 60s and things started to go bad.

You're now dealing with the generations that have been raised since the Taliban took control. They have a different view of politics and life in general. It will take generations of living a different way until change happens there. Geopolitical change is measured in generations, not years. The generations of poverty have altered their values. Generations of rule based on Hambali based Islamic teachings have twisted their society.

I am far from a bleeding heart. Just ask anyone who knows me . I sincerely hate that shit hole, I pretty much dislike the entire middle east, but I also experienced enough of the world to want to look real deep before completely condemning an entire country.
