But the conviction was not the main thing is that he is wrong and that he was too straightforward. His is hardly the first inhabitant of the West, who called the medieval Afghanistan. Many believe so and Afghanistan country without a government in which chaos is literally cut into the rocks and hills. And looking at videos and photos from Afghanistan, it sometimes seems that the country really has not got out of the Middle Ages.
