Maybe this summer :)
I want to visit Afghanistan this summer and maybe I will.
The north and central Afghanistan are relatively safer than the south but still not safe as we would like to.
Road A1 Herat-Qandahar-Kabul is a suiciede!
Road A77 Herat-Chaghcharan-Navor-Kabul, just might be "safe enugh"
Road from Kabul to Kholm and Mazar-e Sharif is "safe" to travel.
Road from Kabul-Peshawar is used daily very extensively and should be the "safest" road in Afghanistan
Anti-American (read foreign) attitude is high and rising.
So You just can't know how will people react on a traveller.
Talibans are not as bad as Americans present them to the world.
A few short facts abouth Taliban (learner):
1. Taliban regime got strong because, America choose to help them as they where most capable force in Afghanistan, that was when Russians where there. While and after Russian "invasion" Talibans where fighting with other Warlords and gained control over Kabul.
2. They are obligated to give help to a "stranger".
Definiton of "stranger" is another thing.
3. As foreign troops are working on lowering drug production in Afghanistan. Which is main sourece of income for many people living there, because of that non-talibans are joining the Talibans.
