Americans have had their civil liberties eroded continually for decades but never mind all of that right? and now those supposed terrorists are on home soil.. things have gotten much worse and their war did a whole lot of nothing but creating even more of the problem.
I know what you mean @doitvoluntarily, but leaving Taliban in Afghanistan would've done much more harm. Don't get me wrong, I know any war is bad but in this situation I think instead of staying in Afghanistan for so long, US should've gotten out earlier.
The Taliban had nothing to do with 9/11. If they were still running Afghanistan, there would be a huge shortage of heroin on the world market. They had stopped the growing/production of the poppy/ heroin and that's why they had to be removed. Poppy fields are back bigger than ever and the heroin is flowing. The CIA are the world's largest drug cartel, they supply the world with both Cocaine and Heroin. The USA has never been attacked on home soil except by rogue elements within their own government.
Taliban were harboring Al-Qaida mate! And poppy production was their main source of income, not sure where you're getting your information from. But anyways I don't want to hijack somebody else's post, so I'll leave it at this.
It's well known that theses organisations are CIA founded and funded.
