'''Afghanistan''' is a landlocked country in southern [[Asia]] which borders [[Pakistan]] to the south and east and [[Iran]] to the west. Afghanistan is known in the modern world for the decade-long influence of the [[Islamism|Islamist]] [[Taliban]] government, which was overthrown by American-led forces in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks, but still retains strong influence and is currently conducting a campaign of guerrilla warfare.  One in three people believes that the Taliban would return if foreign troops pulled out before the army and police were better trained.  <ref>[http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/afghanistan/afghan-survey2007.html Environics 2007 Poll of Afghanistan]</ref>
