What are the most common foods in Afghanistan?
Known as the dastarkhan or sofrah, the table spread is an important expression of culture in Afghanistan. Regardless of economic status, creating an adequate destarkhan is important to any family, especially when having guests. A large cloth will most likely be spread over a traditional rug in the living area or on a formal dining table. Most likely a young member of the family will present a "aftabah WA lagan", a copper basin and elaborate pot filled with water for the household to wash their hands in. He or she will go around the destarkhan to each member, pour water over the hands. Soap is provided, as is a drying cloth. The destarkhan is then dutifully filled with breads, accompaniments, relishes, appetizers, main courses, salads, rice, and fruits. Arrangement of foods is important when having guests; they must have easy access to the specialty foods. Young children are taught how to spread a good destarkhan and will be busy helping their parents.

Is there a peaceful way to change the government?
The process of rebellion can be peaceful. But the intention of a peaceful rebellion means nothing if government does not submit to the verbal will of the electorate.
The only way to change the government in a democracy is to convince the majority of the people to support the change. When change is enforced against their will, the populace eventually comes into conflict with the government, peacefully or otherwise.
Most governments are changed peacefully. Many of those by way of elections. There could be nasty arguments and some noise. But that's not war.

Why did the U S invade Afghanistan?
Usually with a question this nebulous, it would be impossible to answer it. However, interestingly enough, the upwards of 15 invasions of Afghanistan (excepting the US invasion in 2001) were all reasoned on account of its strategic position. (There was never a desire to hold Afghanistan for its people, resources, or for religious reasons.)
The Strategic Rationale: Afghanistan is well placed at the crossroads of 4 major regions/empires: Persia in the West, China in the East, Russia/Soviet Union in the North, and India/Pakistan in the South. As a result of its central location and relatively good defensibility (Afghanistan is very mountainous), many different leaders wanted to conquer it to use its territory to conquer another one of Afghanistan's more desirable neighbors.
The United States Invasion: The US Invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 was to hunt down the terrorists responsible for the events of 9-11 (Al-Qaeda and its affiliates) and the regime that protected them.

Who was the President of Afghanistan in 2002?
Nur Muhammad Taraki was the President of Afghanistan at the start of 1979 to September 14.
Hafizullah Amin was the President of Afghanistan from September 14 to December 27.
Babrak Karmal was the President of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan from December 27.
Taraki was the Chairman of the Presidium of the Revolutionary Council from 1978 April 30 to 1979 September 14. Due to socialistic land reforms pushed during his presidency, a popular uprising took place causing conflict among the ruling council. He was eventually assassinated by Hafizullah Amin, who succeeded him as president.
Hafizullah Amin ascended to power after Taraki's assassination. However, he was unpopular with the Soviets, who attempted to assassinate him multiple times. Eventually they suceeded and replaced Amin with Karmal.
Babrak Karmal was the Chairman of the Presidium of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan from 1979 December 27 to 1986 November 24. The Soviet backed Karmal attempted several reforms to attempt to unify the nation. These included promoting Parchamites in the government and military to the chagrin of the Khalqis, changing the flag from it's red factional incarnation to a more traditional black, red and green flag, and implementing "Fundamental Principles" such as the right to free speech and proper criminal trials, changes started under Amin. However, continued civil war with no results led to the Soviets gradually withdrawing support in the face of such results. Karmal was eventually forced to resign on 1986 November 24.
