People point to pictures of unveiled women in Kabul in the 60s, but the true heart of the Taliban, southern and southeastern rural Afghanistan, were different stories entirely. The fact of the matter is that Northern Afghanistan and Kabul are ethnically and socially almost a different world.Maybe going after Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad immediately when invading Afghanistan would have helped?
