However 50 years on and Vietnam today at least is a functioning nation which to some degree has evolved so its people have a chance at a decent life.

I do not think the same thing will be said of Afghanistan.

The Communists, for all their flaws, truly wanted to help the people of Vietnam and have done so. The Talibs want power and to impose their world view on as many people as possible regardless of anything else.
