I was talking with my daughter several days ago, before the Taliban made so much headway. She is studying Psychology and she was reading about PTSD. I used Afghanistan as an example, hundreds of years of invaders and NONE have evr triumphed. It is a feudal, barren and very divided place, tribes, different cults, religions and laws. What hope has the average Tommy, GI Joe, etc. in such a place. It should just be left alone to find it's own equilibrium. I told my daughter that it was a "basket case", maybe prophetic.

Rgds.
