@RG - I'm sorry if my remark/s caused offence. Certainly that wasn't my intention.
I could say more but in truth it probably wouldn't help, and would stray further from Marty's post.
Moving on ....
@Tony - coming back from the airport once quite recently, I had an Afghan taxi driver who talked to me at length about how beautiful Kabul and other cities used to be. From his descriptions of his homeland in the various seasons, he could have been talking about any well known European city. Trees, flowers, gardens, architecture, culture..... and so on. The sort of place you'd be happy to live in. A far cry from how it is now I imagine.
Tony, while these places have something we want, usually oil, but minerals or gold or whatever, there will never be peace.
Cheers,
Paul
