I think something fascinating is Afghanistans history of resisting conquerors. From Alexander To America they have fought back. This is NOT to become a political discussion please, simply a historical overview of why Afghanistan is the way it is.


My Reasons
1. They are idependent mountain people
2. They have never been a unified society and chafe under overlords
3. They have a natural fighting spirit.
4 They are the crossroads between east and west
5. Their Environment is perfect for guerrilla warfare
