Afghanistan has been a perpetual warzone for decades now and every attempt after each war to rebuild important civil instituions (courts, taxes, police) has been poorly done. In the brief period where there were institutions and stability things were better. If from the article, “During the time of the Taliban we did not have such encounters. Everyone kept to his lane.”.

I'm trying to think of what the good people of Afghanistan can do to create good regions of Afghanistan. It seems clear that good people need to band together, get some serious firepower, and create a safe haven where the One Rule (no destruction) is strictly enforced.

It's a fascinating problem because it's almost like dealing with a zombie apocalypse. Too bad that it's real.

This almost exactly describes what the Taliban did. Except in their moral system, the One Rule is different than in your moral system.

That is a staggeringly childish view of how stable, safe societies work.

I think I get your point, but you need to re-phrase the zombie apocalypse part.

Afghanistan is a country that has been fractured by civil war or the fight against invaders for all of its living memory and is struggling to find unity.

A zombie apocalypse on the other hand is a fictional event in which a horde of brainless demons tries to kill all humans.
