Makes you wonder why anyone wanted this war in the first place... Afghanistan doesn't have oil, the population is made up of a ton of different tribes that don't probably don't want to be united for or against anything, and the number of terrorists only increases when innocents are getting killed after NATO sticks its military dick in places that don't want it.

The only ones profiting out of this is the military-industrial complex. I guess that answers my question.


Nobody wanted this war,it was the terrorist that wanted this war. The U.S. did'nt start anything. Not every war is as sinister as you would believe.

 

If the terrorists wanted it, why did "we" give them the satisfaction?

Because it was an imported problem, and the two options were either to destroy it at its source (which seems a fool's errand) or to quarantine the problem (which is politically incorrect). Since Bush's first act after 9/11 was to run out to a mosque and proclaim Islam to be a religion of peace, it's easy to see why we ended up going with the first option.
