  While true, they were exposed to the idea of having a united country for over 20 years. Won't happen tomorrow, or maybe even the next decade, but it will happen. Even now the taliban rule it as it were a single country. So its not so far fetched to believe that internal change can happen, and much more likely to stick than a forced external one.
context: Looks like she made sure she couldn't be accused of not being fully covered which is the excuse the Taliban have been using. I hope that she survives, and their regime doesn't. >
  
  People really need to stop thinking of Afghanistan as a country and start thinking of it as four major tribal ethnic groups and many more minor ones sharing roughly overlapping geographical areas in a place that just so happens to be sometimes loosely “ruled” by some king of warlord or whatever.
