No amount of rebuilding a war torn country can bring back the old natural ambience.

Sorry forgot to reduce it.
Only 20 years of war? Whatever How about since recorded history?
No, that was the 80's, which was about 20 years ago :dunno
There was a good decade between the Soviets and us
The Soviet invasion was sidebar for what had already been infighting for 2000 years. The only thing the Soviet invasion did was solidify the bond between the Pashtuns and the Taliban.
Either way, the premise of this thread is fundamentally ridiculous, which is all I'm sayin
I was talking about war in general, which includes Soviets, US and local tribal divisions. I am not pinpointing on the US.
Oh I know
Unfortunately that country is always going to be fringe. Once the Soviets were ran out, and we left them alone to squander, they had nothing left but to hand over control to whomever took it.Just so happened to be another batshit regime hell bent on hating the West
Yeah it's a bitch what can happen to a country when its government shelters terrorists. Here's another before and after photo for you. Ring any bells?

LMAO, conspiracy theories are not counted.
I am waking you up now.
European influence in Afghanistan (1826-1919)
Dost Mohammed Khan gained control in Kabul. Collision between the expanding British and Russian Empires significantly influenced Afghanistan during the 19th century in what was termed "The Great Game." British concern over Russian advances in Central Asia and growing influence in Persia culminated in two Anglo-Afghan wars and "The Siege of Herat" 1837-1838, in which Persians trying to retake Afghanistan and throw out the British and Russians sent armies into the country waging wars with the British mostly around and in the city of Herat. The first (1839-1842) resulted in the destruction of a British army; it is remembered as an example of the ferocity of Afghan resistance to foreign rule. The second Anglo-Afghan war (1878-1880) was sparked by Amir Shir Ali's refusal to accept a British mission in Kabul. This conflict brought Amir Abdur Rahman to the Afghan throne. During his reign (1880-1901), the British and Russians officially established the boundaries of what would become modern Afghanistan. The British retained effective control over Kabul's foreign affairs.
