The population is half Pashtun, the remainder Tadjik and Pashai. It had a repution for great wealth until it was conquered in the tenth century by Abu Mansur Sabuktigin.
He conquered it and set fire to the places in its vicinity which were inhabited by infidels, and demolishing the idol-temples, he established Islam in them, He marched and captured other cities and killed the polluted wretches, destroying the idolatrous and gratifying the Musulmans. After wounding and killing beyond all measure, his hands and those of his friends became cold in counting the value of the plundered property.

It's like watching basketball... don't much care who wins.

from a strategic point of view we should encourage whoever is losing to keep fighting; help keep the Syrian civil war as bloody as possible, encourage the various intra conflicts between jihadist elements in Libya, etc.
from a humanitarian point of view, no

[KhaamaPress] Some of the Afghan migrants colonists have accused the Iranian forces, border guards, of throwing 57 people into a river which resulting in to the killing of at least 23 of them, it has been reported.
Certain of the survivors of the incident have claimed that the Iranian border guards initially arrested the migrants colonists from a bordering region and later threw them in to Harirod River.
According to reports, the incident took place earlier last week as the migrants colonists were on their way to Iran, apparently for work opportunities.
The local officials in Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... have not commented regarding the involvement of the Iranian border guards in the incident but confirm that the public health authorities have received the dead bodies of several people who had apparently drowned.
Meanwhile, ...back at the hoedown, the fiddler suddenly struck a sour note. The dancing stopped abruptly. Everyone looked at Bob... the acting minister of foreign affairs Mohammad Haneef Atmar has reportedly appointed a delegation to thoroughly investigate the incident.
This is not the first reports emerge regarding the alleged torture and killing of Afghan migrants colonists by the Iranian border guards but numerous such incidents have been reported during the past several years.
