Maybe try actually doing the search. Seems pretty obvious. There are details about the ethnic makeup of Afghanistan in there... but you have to actually look to get the info.

Knowing that the keywords, Arab, Afghanistan, Muslim, etc, etc...never brought up the CIA World Factbook...

Right. Now you've taken my point and made it your own. I said some Afghanis probably feel this way... and you've gone ahead and verified that. I never said all of them felt that way, you tried to put that in my mouth.

You never said a word about the extremists.

Afghanistan is not a united place with a single people. It is diverse. Some people will welcome foreign intervention, some won't. If NATO is so welcome in Afghanistan, why are NATO soldiers being killed? Obviously some Afghanis don't appreciate the occupation.

NATO soldiers are being killed by the Taliban. An extremist group that is trying to influence their views on the rest of the Afghani people.

Not trying to sound vague here either, but to an extent, the Afghani people elected a government that has 'asked' NATO to stay and help rebuild their country.
