Exactly. Why take away their autonomy? There are 195 countries on earth. Why the fuck is Afghanistan the place where both England and America went to war. That poor, poor place. I feel bad for all of it's residents.

There is a literal "invasions of Afghanistan" wiki page it's happened so many times. The US the Soviets and the UK were all suuuperr late to the invade Afghanistan game. Leave them to be how they want.

England was just good old imperialism. Afghanistan came to the US in 2001 when it allowed its territory to be a safe haven for ALl Qaeda. Additionally the Northern Alliance fought the opening phase of the war. The Taliban had been driven from Kabul before American boots touched the ground thanks to US Air support.
