You got the message and Kipling sure got it, too. I believe he was out there (India) before the turn of the 20th century but I'm too lazy to verify it. The Afghani's have had the same reputation for just about all of recorded history and most of the world (Muslim included) avoided the place. If one was not born there one did not go there! Good advice in any century. BTW, do you know what their main objection to the Soviet backed Government was? The Soviets encouraged the education of women!! That was the real trigger that set them off on JIHAD!! but then, it never did take very much to do that.
