Best Answer

Afghanistan had its monarchy abolished when an ambitious former prime minister, Mahommed Daoud Khan, cousin to the king, overthrew the monarchy to make himself ruler of the country. It appeared that a restoration of the monarchy did not suit U.S. interests, which is why it has not occured since the Taliban was removed. Former UNOCAL employee Hamid Karzai was instead installed. This was despite the apparent popular support for a resoration in the Loya Jirga, the Afghani parliament.
