Afghanistan, prior to the Soviet invasion, was very advanced for that region of the world, and only reverted to its backward ways during the Soviet war and under the Taliban, which is more a belief or interpretative system of Sharia, than a group of individuals. That's why you don't stamp it out. With the good will present at the time, and the collective effort of the world, I think we would have had a chance then. Now we've lost two wars, gone broke in the process and keep skyrocketing our debt. This spiral is worse than it seems.
