If the people refuse to help themselves and take control of their own country, of course no amount of foreign intervention will help them.
Whereas countries try to build themselves up as Rwanda did after a lengthy period of instability, Afghanistan seems incapable of doing so despite the efforts of the most powerful country in the world to help them.
Are they unwilling to get their shit together, or just too goddamn stupid to do so? Either way, despite their best intentions the Afghan people will hate the western forces (including Canadian ones) because there was no magic wand solution to change their country into paradise.
