#1 This is the region where the Brits made a deal with the Taliban to ignore them if they would ignore the Brits. I think in spirit, it's similar to the treaty that the Brits had with Afghanistan when India was part of the British empire. The problem is that during the days of the British Raj, Afghans weren't conspiring with terrorists to take down skyscrapers in New York.
