They are the steady adherents of (global) conflict because they are forever fighting both themselves and others to do whatever they think that they want to do.

Hassan and I looked at each other. Cracked up. The Hindi kid would soon learn what the British learned earlier in the century, and what the Russians would eventually learn by the late 1980's: that Afghans are an independent people.
