Thanks, Robert for the picture in the banner. I wonder if there is any support for the former royal family in Afghanistan now that the late King Zahir Shah has died. The 2002 constitution named him Father of the Nation and, if I recall correctly, there was rather broad support for a restoration at the time the Taliban fell. I would be interested if anyone had any insights as to whether a constitutional monarchy could still be a force for unity in that war-torn land.
