The only thing that's gone on in the last decade is the US bombing them instead of someone else.

Over the previous century plus they've had multiple wars, power struggles, coups...and you think more changed in the last decade?

Being there give you unique insight into what it is like now...but to ignore everything before that because you think seeing it now is better than reading about what it was like before you got there is inane.

I see you have been busy reading (most likely biased) articles. I have seen election reform and advancement of women's rights more in the last decade than had taken place in the last half-millennium. I have seen school destroyed by the Taliban becuase they wanted anyone to learn, being rebuilt and attended. I have seen wells constructed in places that had never had acces to water in there history.

I have seen countless other progresses. You feel free to go with the only thing that has changed in that we are bombing them more.
