BTW, as recently as the seventies, Afghanistan was quite a progressive and civilized place. So let's not use the people themselves as an excuse. It would be far more accurate to say, as recently as the seventies, Kabul was quite a progressive and civilized place, these being relative terms. However, they let women wear western clothes and attend university. Warlordism and incredible backwardness still ruled in other places, however. Afghanistan is not a place that has ever had a strong central government.
