What caused the US to go to war with Afghanistan?
This was triggered following the terrorist attacks against the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon on 11th September 2001. The government of George W. Bush claimed that it had firm evidence that the then Taliban government of Afghanistan had actively supported the terrorists, with funding, training and logistics support, and was turning their country into a haven for the training, instruction and equipping of Islamic terrorists. A military offensive was begun later the same year to remove the Taliban from power, allegedly to neutralise the terrorist threat that it posed to America. Whilst there was indeed some truth in the claim that the Taliban regime was engaged in supporting terrorism, it was not doing so to anything like the degree that the Bush administration alleged, and was not able to afford to fund large terror campaigns in the way Bush claimed. Many people thus felt that the assault on Aghanistan was mainly a knee-jerk revenge attack against a fundamentalist Islamic country, in revenge for the attacks on New York.The USA went to war with Afghanistan not because we hate Afghanistan. We actually went to war with the Taliban that was (and still is) inside of Afghanistan. Taliban is a political party; USA wants to stop them now before they could possibly become the rulers and completely ruin Afghanistan. The USA is in Afghanistan so we can stabilize Afghanistan.

Why was Pearl Harbor not forseen?
Aircraft and midget submarines of the Imperial Japanese Navy began an attack on the U.S. Contrary to popular belief, these attacks were not a surprise. The Americans had deciphered Japan's code earlier and knew about a planned attack before it actually occurred. However, due to difficulty in deciphering intercepted messages, the Americans failed to discover Japan's target location before the attack occurred.
What was life like for women before the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan?
Better than AFTER the Taliban took power, but even before then, Afghanistan was a pretty miserable place. Go back to 1978 or so, before the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, and you could see Kabul (the capital city) looked prosperous and relatively liberal. Women dressed in European fashions and attended college, and the scenery looked entirely "normal" and European. That was in Kabul; the rural areas hadn't changed all that much for the previous 1500 years.
