Afghanistan is now a war zone,prior to the invasion of USSR it was as good as any south asian country.
If force and military power could convert people,then british would have converted Afghanistan to a christian country when they ruled it with brutal force a hundred years ago. If sword can force people to change their ideology them Afganistan should now be the becon of communist rule-Since USSR during its powerful days was actually ruling the country. Even today the whole world is against Afganistan - And right from NATO to all military giants are camping and trying to propogate their value system. But Afghans are rejecting that with every means possible. These afghans are the same people whom you are now accusing of succumbing to Islamic invaders when cluster bombs couldnt subdue them , how could a mere sword will force them?
The TRUTH is contrary to your observation,Afganistan is a standing example that using force to propogate a ideology will never work and never worked no matter how powerful the sword is!!!!
