Afghanistan is in a world of turmoil. Militant extremists are being attacked by our troops while the regular everyday people of Afghanistan are being terrorized. The situation there is just a mess and looks like it is getting worse. The reason for the fighting is because of the extremists who hate anyone that does not support their beliefs. Plus the fact that Afghanistan has a tribal mentality means that most people are more loyal to their tribal chieftain than the president of Afghanistan. There are many different ethnicities in Afghanistan. Each region has its own ethnicity with its own tribal leader. Sometimes these chieftains fight with each other for land and small wars between them erupt. The feeling of nationalism of being an afghan needs to be stirred into the people so that the small conflicts would stop. With the whole society wanting a better Afghanistan. With a truly united Afghan people, the people as a whole would join help their army to defeat the Taliban which has caused them much grief. This can only happen when the people can share a common goal and not warring tribes.
