		Jalal is Afghanistan's female warlord of sorts, though her weapons are not the traditional kind.
		In staying in Afghanistan during a time when most intellectuals were fleeing, and in successfully defying the Taliban, she both grew stronger and formed a social base that would later grow into a small groundswell of support for her candidacy.
		Afghanistan is slightly smaller than Texas, but it can take more than five hours to drive a hundred miles on dusty, rocky and narrow roads.

		Also, unless Afghanistan has an incredibly miraculous creation of communications and infrastructure to bring all the various factions and tribes together, they will be pretty much the same as they were before.
