I don't think so asd in any case most of Afghanistns troubles stem from it not really being a nation state at all, it's just what got left over after Russia and Britain played the Great Game in Central Asia, a mishmash of disparate ethnically diverse tribes whose loyalty is to themselves and not central government.; 5:15 AM, May 25, 2010
