In 1975 when the Magic Bus Crew [and others like them] went into Iran and Afghanistan, there were NO problems, no hostility toward them, no religious or cultural problems.
Afghanistan, as Iran, are both beautiful countries with great tourist values, naturally hospitable and friendly people. Why can't America even imagine treating other countries/peoples/cultures as friends - and if they have natural resources make fair-market agreements to buy [not steal] them. Further, allow the interchange of ordinary people; not the invasion of soldiers and spies.
Imagine if Iran or Afghanistan or anyone tried to invade or kill via drones or bombers the USA - how would WE react...we'd react exactly as they have reacted and who'd win - in the end, it is always the native population who wins. Will we never learn not to be imperialists and mass murderers completely devoid of extending to others what we'd want extended to us - peace, friendship, fair play, fair prices, civility......etc. I fear not...it is not the way an Empire thinks.
