People have occupied Kabul but the mountains we are in were never
"conquered".

tell it to ghengis khan
That is not history, that is legend and folk lore.
We don't have a clue how effective Khan was in controlling the tribal
areas of Afghanistan. For that matter, the people there could be
descendants of the Khan army.

we you kind of disproved your own point. if we dont know who conquered
afghanistan, then you can't say it's never been conquered, can you?

Since Afghanistan was ruled by guys named Khan for years I suppose you
could say we are fighting Ghengis

could be. more evidence they conquered afghanistan, isn't it?

Yup, shall we just say it is a country that is still living under
Ghengis Khans decendents with about the same level of civilization.

They may be living under the descendent's of Genghis Khan but, the
civilization is long gone.

Painful as it is, I have to agree with you. Afghanistan is a country in
map outline only. It is not a nation by any reasonable working
definition of that term. What civilization it is has is minimal, tribal
and ethnic. There is as much chance of Afghanistan emerging as a real
nation as there is of me getting an invite to spend the weekend at the
No-Tell Motel with Salma Hayek, Penelope Cruz, or Scarlett Johansson.

We should get our ground troops the hell out of Afghanistan as quickly
as possible, and try to help the Pakistanis turn their crazy country
into a nation. There's a small chance of success with the Pakis; there's
none with the Afghanis.
