You know what? The Soviet invaders claimed to bring them exactly that: stability. And progress. And what they claimed was the most successful political system in the world. We call that attempt contemptible and foolhardy because we aren't Soviets or socialists, but to an Afghan, it was very much the same thing the US are attempting now. And the Afghans have rejected non-Afghan ideas of "stability" for over two millenia.
Alexander the Great claimed (and probably honestly believed) to bring peace, progress and prosperity. The Afghans would have none of it. The mongols brought the protection of their divine Khan. The Afghans would have none of it. They drove away the Turk kingdoms, the Arab kaliphates and sultanates and everything that came at them out of India. They humiliated the Red Army, the largest and most feared in the world. Even China, which annexed large parts of central Asia, knew better than to fuck with the Afghans. Now the US are making their attempt, and Afghans are simply chalking one up the list.
Trust me, if they were into buying any "stability", they wouldn't have been fighting this hard for over two thousand years.
