I recently watched a documentary on History or NatGeo regarding the special forces in Afghanistan. It was documenting how a platoon or so will become indigenous to a region and soft-knock their way through gathering intelligence and building repoire. It was a vastly different effort than the soldier/policeman directing traffic in Kabul. This documentary was very telling of both the varying techniques and undeniable difficulties in achieving stability in a tribal nation-state. To me, they seem a thousand years away from democracy of any kind.
