Invocations (blocked) cannot be called by Mashiki because Mashiki is not privileged - sorry.

Grats to The Daily Show for winning every Emmy it was up for last night... again.

Funny, I guess, but I won't upvote because it's mostly fiction. The Daily Show is excellent because their comedy is usually grounded in reality, but just to be clear, this isn't --

Alexander marched through all regions of Afghanistan (which of course wasn't a single political entity at the time) with clear success. He even founded Kandahar (one of many cities called Alexandria, at the time).

Gengis Khan utterly destroyed the empire that occupied most of Afghanistan and Persia.

And heck, not to mention that the US and the Northern Alliance toppled the Taliban with relative ease.

Of course, one could argue how much any of these empires/regimes was actually "in control" of Afghanistan, but that's true of imperial control of most regions.

So really, it's unmerited to call Afghanistan "unconquerable". It might be OK to call it "Ungovernable", but that's true of many regions of the world.
