RE The Afghan War in Retrospect

Oakland CA

Description

Most Americans were in favor of making the Taliban and Al Qaeda pay for their sneak attack, whomever you're referring to as "most" were in the minority, even Obama was in favor of retaliating on Afghanistan, Biden as well. Osama Bin Laden himself said attacking on 911 was for US troops stationed in Saudi Arabia and he was not of any authority to pass judgement, he was a Jihadist terrorist as are today's Al Qaeda. ISIS and the Taliban. If sticking our nose into their business means defending the human rights of the innocent men women and child in Middle Eastern countries to be free of fear, murder, rape and forced child brides Americans have always supported such efforts you not withstanding. It becomes our business when these 7th century thinkers try to have a world presence that affects our lives, it's their goal to have a worldwide caliphate and it's our duty to stop them, kill them and their dog twice if need be. It doesn't matter how long Arabs or Islamic people have been fighting one another, the world is interconnected and the days of the Hatfields & McCoys are long gone, no one who can will put up with it. Do you think if you're arrested for beating your wife half to death the court will take into consideration you've done it for decades because your religion tells you you can as a valid defense? Get the Hell out of here with this thousands of years bullstien. Afghans jumped at the chance to live free and unafraid with equal rights for women just ask them, our presence afforded them this and anyone in their situation would too. So when you claim we forced our values on them they weren't required to shave, us deodorant, dress scantly or take drugs, learn critical race theory or forced to facilitate sex changes. Truth be told you haven't a clue what you're talking about and it shows. President Biden for his idiotic plan to withdraw from Afghanistan has condemned thousands upon thousands of Afghans to death, torture and rape and you think that's OK. You're a callus, insensitive idiot just like Biden. Have a nice day! None of us "forgot" why went into Afghanistan. Most of America thought going in to Afghanistan was a disaster back then, and all of these people, were right. The 9-11 attacks did not happen for no reason. These attacks on U.S, soil were not out of the blue. We were attacked as retribution for sticking our noses in Islamic business. Thes jihads (holy wars) have been going on for a thousand years. These wars began before the first pilgrim set foot on what is now the good ol' USA. America has NO BUSINESS STICKING OUR NOSE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. Islamic extremists see the U.S. meddling in the Middle East as us forcing christianity on them. These people will give their lives inn the name of Allah. We have no business being there. We had no business being in Kuwait (George Bush sr.) and we had no business being in Iraq or Afganistan. Our presence in the Middle East only fueled the hatred of islamic extremists towards the U.S. This war was the biggest waste of time and money of any war. American leaders needs to stop trying to force the American way of life on other countries. We have plenty of issues to resolve at home. We need to keep our nose out of other peoples business.
