You are on the right track. A couple of minor points. I have met many Afghans. The ones who have lived outside of Afghanistan abhor religion. They know what it has done to their country. The ones who live there have perspective that is strongly shaped by lack of security in every sense of the word. Afghanistan has not had a day of peace since the Soviet invasion in the '70s. Entire generations (plural) have been born to war. Think about what that does to a person's psyche. To have been born into a war, see your parents and your neighbours die violently, and then to raise your children (or if you are unlucky, your orphaned grandchildren) under similar conditions. That kind of environment conditions people in very bad ways. I bet that there are many who cannot even conceive a life in peace. Afghans are also fiercely independent. They have always been that way. They prefer to take crap from one of their own than handouts from outsiders. 2 trillion dollars could have done a lot more than it achieved. But it would have had to be done very differently.
