War on Terrorism has played a huge role in the Global financial meltdown. Trillions of dollars have been wasted to fund a war that will go on forever and ever and ever. No invading nation has ever conquered Afghanistan. 80% of the world are against these wars.

USA has spent nearly over a trillion dollars on these wars, and the estimated value of resources in Afghanistan is a trillion dollars also. With no sign of the war ending, they may not even break even.
But I agree, these wars are just pointless. This is just the latest instalment of pointless wars. And by definition, we will never win because we are fighting a guerilla army, there is no way you can defeat them. Fighting them is like nailing jelly to a wall. This is kind of the same reason the USA lost in Vietnam.
