indeed. though afghanistan has been fucked up since 1973, when some faggot couped his own cousin, the king who had reigned for 40 years. piece of shit ran the country into trouble and let the military be trained and indoctrinated by the soviets, leading to the communist revolution in 1978. as the soviets were invited to keep the red kabul regime in place, that led to the hopeless soviet-afghan war of 1979-88. at least they didn't wait 20 years. after that, the taliban were birthed out of the mujahideen who fought the reds with us help. created/trained by that shady fuckhead state of pakistan. it is amazing how the west has turned a complete blind eye to pakistan endlessly fucking with afghanistan for decades, with the islamic fundamentalist taliban, even after bin laden was found to be living there. it's also pretty fucked up that when the deposed king returned home, the burgers would not allow him to formally resume his reign, because they did not want to piss off the pakis with border disputes. though karzai stayed behind and is held under house arrest, ghani was wise to run.
