It's really not, so it's quite irrational to include that level of hyperbole to make your point emotionally loaded rather than factual.

Afghanistan is bordered by Pakistan and Iran - both countries which are a helluva lot more culturally and religiously aligned with the majority of Afghans.

> every country, including my own, that has participated in military excurisions in the middle east in the last 30 years has created this crisis for themselves

This is nonsense. Religious fundamentalism & oppression of the populace has created this situation - both of which were aided & abetted by (you guessed it) Iran & Pakistan. Both countries are the biggest funders of the religious fundamentalists as well as offering state level support and safety for those leaders.
