[Evil Robot II]

So your saying nobody in NATO understood that this would be bad? I think they are rioting because they like rioting and smashing things and throwing grenades and fighting is fun for them. I understand that without somebody to blame for their plight (they do have a plight, right?) they would have nobody to blame but themselves for the fact that they reject any attempt at development.

There are many companies that would love to set up shop there but the main reason they don't is because of "instability" (ie. they are afraid of their employees getting killed).

Then the afghans get upset that there is no development or jobs or money coming into the country and blame the people who are afraid of them.
