However, Afghanistan post-WWII thru the '70s was not at all jacked up like it is today. Was fairly modern, tolerant and a tourist destination.

I'm not saying that we're moving things in the right direction, doing things that we should be doing or that it is even possible to roll things back and get a historical "do over" on the backward slide into medieval islamo-land ... just that this article omits the fact that Afghan was not always as jacked up as it is now.
