Sure they are when WWII ended we made sure to set up governments that where friendly to the West.I am not even talking about Libya or Iraq these are different situations.But this is how the world works larger nation states try to ensure that smaller and weaker states have governments that are friendly insuring stability in a region.

I have already shown that I have an understanding of Pashtun culture so I am doing as you said:"Don't think just technicalities think mentality and traditions of the regions"
There has been a large foreign pro extremist influence in Pashtun regions since the Soviet Afghan War that goes against Pashtun tradition basically these foreign elements are taking advantage of poor education and clan level differences in the region to spread their agenda.At the same time a Pashtun man in Afghanistan took in a seriously wounded US Navy SEAL in 2006 that was being chased down by Taliban fighters.The Taliban knew that the SEAL had been taken in according to Pashtun codes and they demanded he be turned over the Pashtun man did not do so and the Taliban had no choice but to leave because if they had forced their way in to kill a person under protection the entire village would attack the Taliban fighters according to Pashtun "laws" so to speak.

Are you even reading what I have posted or are you simply trying to argue?Some of your posts seem to point at the later.I dont see you posting any valid counter points to anything I have posted.
