The political situation there has been getting quite worse than it originally was after the US stepping in.

It is less stable because we took out the regime that was pressing down on the people. Now, you have parties from a hundred different directions wanting a piece of government.
You also have 20 years worth of routine getting shaken up. Things are going to be tought for a while. Remember, an entire infastructure has to be built.

They siezed rule less than 20 years ago. The Taliban didn't become the "official" rulers until 1994. And only 2 countries ever recognized them. I think they were France and Iran.

the struggling fractions that they've got there now aren't any better in terms of 'democratic spirit' than the ones they took down, they're just more easy to manipulate by the US.

Thats why we got people watching them like hawks. In two years the provisional government there will be replaced by a democratically elected government with fair representation (including women).
That region does not have a history of democracy. How the hell are they supposed to figure it out themselves? They need established governments to help them set up infastructure and make processes for doing things. This is all going to take a long time.
