I can. Afghanistan was a 20-year bubble. We're finally seeing what happens when you rip the Band-Aid off holding everything together and letting the natural equilibrium fill the void.
Will it cause a lot of harm and horror? Absolutely, unfortun'ately. But there were already almost daily explosions in public markets as it was. Has everyone forgotten how hellish daily life had become there? Something had to give.
But this is what happens when bubbles burst and you can't keep up the façade any longer.
Like who and what army??
The seated government was a joke and a sham.
I'm not sure I would go so far as saying religion is required as A did, but I think you're imposing your local values upon people you have little connection to and have next to no contextual knowledge about.
I know Vaclav Havel was a commie in many circles, but he was probably my favorite politician of the 20th century. He had this great take on exporting democracy:
And America says they want American democracy in the whole world. Same circus, different clowns.
TBH, it probably should have happened under Trump.

This outcome was 100% certain, merely a matter of time.
The west fails to understand, or refuse to, that this type of countries will never have stability or democracy in a long run. They are not really countries in the modern sense, borders on a map and a flag doesn't make a country.
3 requirement to guarantee a failed country are: being Multi-ethnic, tribal and poor. 2 usually enough, Afghanistan checks all 3, next.
In this case and as many others, Islamic extremism isn't the cause, it's the effect.

Nice wishful thinking. Muslims are becoming more aware of their religion and more inclined to Sharia with every passing day. Free insider information for you, on the house.
The Salafi movement is growing even among Aziks, in one of the most secular countries in the world.
That's like saying bonobos are becoming more aware of fucking and throwing shit
