"the graveyard of empires"
Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, the UK, the USSR & the Taliban/al-Qaeda all failed to conquer the notoriously rough mountainous terrain and all those empires crumbled as a result.

Afghanistan is an extremely poor Central Asian nation that is being ruled by an American-funded puppet government. After years of corruption under the Islamic Fundamentalist Taliban, the nation is now ruled by a weak, ineffective government that is fueled by propganda supplied by US conservatives. However, this central government has no power outside of Kabul and warlords rule this nation's countryside in a fedual style system.
Afghanistan is in a state of anarchy outside of Kabul.
