I don't know anything about it, so I can't write it, but this article desperately needs an introduction. It leads off naming people whose positions within the government aren't very clear, or without saying "The Democratic Republic of Afghanistan was a communist republic governing what is now the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan." or whatever the current formal name of Afghanistan is.

[edit] Note on contents

Large numbers of the sections had hard carriage returns in them, which is somewhat suspect of being a copy and paste from possibly copyrighted sources. This ver, if edited, will show the sections. 68.39.174.238 17:26, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Afghanistan was part of Greater iran

Afghanistan was part of Greater Iran so their is no vandalism in this. Afghanistan was created in late 19th century so before that it was part of Greater Iran.

do not vandalis this page and other pages that you have been doing or they will block you from edits. others will revert all your changes, and if you want to keep adding wrong info, you will be hooked on this, don't do it it's a waste of time. leave the articles alone, as there are million other sources which people read to know about afghanistan and its history. what i don't understand about your actions is, on one hand you don't like "afghanistan" and "afghans", then on the other hand, you want afghanistan to be part of greater iran? make up your mind.Mirrori1 01:02, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Afghanistan was a country that was created by the British in the 19th century, Before that it was part of Greater Iran and it shares a common history with Iranians. Its more logical to have the greater Iran side bar than only the other one. and giving truth isnt vandalism.

This article discusses the politics of the modern state of Afghanistan, not the chimaeric construction that it might -or might not- have been part of in a distant past. That template is completely inappropriate here, and if you continue to insert it, you will be reported for violation of WP:3RR.Raoulduke47 11:26, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
