My guess is many people fail to realize or remember exactly why we are in Afghanistan....
After the September 11th attacks, the US demanded the Taliban turn over Bin Laden. The Taliban actually agreed to do so if the US would provide
evidence that Bin Laden was behind the attacks. The US refused to turn over any evidence and invaded. The Taliban, after the invasion, actually agreed
to turn over Bin Laden if the US would stop bombing the country... again the US refused.
Fact is, we don't need to be there. We have never needed to be there. This whole war could have easily been avoided, but the US choose war over
working within a legal system to find justice. Now here we are, 11 years later, Bin Laden is dead (which was the reason for going to Afghanistan to
begin with) and we are still there. This whole war is a farce and anyone willing to look at the facts can see it. WE are the terrorist, not the people
of Afghanistan, not the Taliban. The United States Government is the terrorist and we have sacrificed countless American lives for nothing. The
Taliban did not have any unreasonable request that I can see. Countries ask to see evidence every day before extraditing another person to another
Country. It happens all the time, but the US refused to provide evidence of any crime at all and made a choice to invade another nation instead.
