Difference between Afghanistan and Iraq-3

Because Iraq is also rich and more educated, they will hopefully manage their affairs in time. But Afghanistan is a whole different ball game. It is where the attacks of 9/11 were planned and executed. It is where the terrorist organization (Al-Qaeda) has and still has its roots. And it is where the NATO forces are still committed, and the U.S. is trying to make sure that no terrorist activity exists in that country. But it is where the corruption exists on a massive scale and the drug production is another issue which despite the presence of thousands of American and NATO forces is booming. The fault maybe multiples in this regard ranging from Taliban profiting from production to low rainfall in the country which makes in ideal in regard to Poppy production ( which needs minimal rainfall to grow).

What can you say about a country whose U.S. installed President threatens to join the Taliban if the international community (read: U.S.) does not back from investigating corruption in this government. This is the same government which is trying to make the deal with the same Taliban who were defeated earlier and who will stop at nothing to oust that government. The Taliban would not have achieved this success if they would have only stayed in Afghanistan, which is the main difference between Iraq and Afghanistan.First of all they don’t recognize the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan, the supposedly Durand border line being no meaning to them.
