#1 Get out and stay out, don't look back. Thanks to the wonderful faith of Islam, civilization in Afghanistan is 2000 years behind the west. There is no catching up.

#2 It's not "behind" Besoeker---it's in another direction. And, I'm not sure you can call it civilization.

#3 Whatever it is, Islam is orthogonal to Civilization.

#4 OldSpook----It is worse than orthogonal. It is in the realm of imaginary numbers. Bizarro world.

#5 "Its in another direction" > Yuuup.

Its a question-mark how much Radical Islam + Global [nUCLEAR?] Islam as a movement will be altered or influenced by its looming future confrontation agz Best Frenemy Forever Marxism-Globalism + Global Secularism.

Lest we fergit, ...

* IIRC GROONG > [Ria Novosti] WORLD IS MOVING ABCK TO PERIOD OF "GREAT POWERS" COMPETITION [ + Geopol = MilPol Confrontationism]: ANALYST.

ME = No matter what formal andor "handshake" agreements, etc. were made by International Globalists + Aligned before 9-11 or before POTUS Obama = Year 2015?, THE "GREAT GAME" SEZZES IFF ONE SIDE OR CAMP BELIEVES THAT ANOTHER CANNOT OR WILL NOT DEFEND ITS TERRITORIES OR INTERESTS, THE FORMER WILL MORE LIKELY-THAN-NOT TO ATTEMPT TO TAKE OVER FROM THE LATTER FOR ITSELF.

OWG-NWO OR NO OWG-NWO, GLOBALISM OR NO GLOBALISM, NUCLEAR JIHAD OR NO NUCLEAR JIHAD, ... ...@ETC. THE "GREAT GAME" STOPS FOR NO COUNTRY.

As a reminder again again again ...

* 1960'S-1970'S Guam Taotamonas = Hugo Chavez = 2014 Groong + Brookings Institute Analyst = ??? = AS THE US RETREATS OR FALLS BACK ACROSS THE PACIFIC [Asia-Pacific], IT WILL ATTEMPT TO SINK OR OTHERWISE DESTROY STRATEGIC PACIFIC ISLES, E.G. GUAM-WESTPAC, IN ORDER TO DENY TO ITS ENEMIES.

"Anti-Access/Area-Denial" aka "A2/AREA-DENIAL" in post-Cold War, post-9-11 Modernist lingo = MilSpeak.

-----------

Iff the US-Allies were ever worried about the Taliban getting legal or illegal control of Pakistan's Nukes-WMDS, it now has the ISIS/ISIL threat to Asia as complement to same.
