Why US forces cannot or do not want to wipe out the Taliban?
There's a lot more to military strategy than simply wiping the opposition out. The Taliban are formed from the majority ethnic group in Afghanistan - that ethnic group will continue to be there long after operations in Afghanistan have ceased, and are always going to have relevance in Afghan society. Could we bomb a whole mountain into oblivion for the sake of wiping out a few Taliban leaders? Certainly. But, it would alienate that ethnic group further, which would ultimately be detrimental to the mission in Afghanistan, which is not simply limited to unseating the Taliban and eliminating key Al-Qaeda targets, but also creating a secure and stable country within the borders of Afghanistan.
Why did the taliban initially have the support of the population of Afghanistan?
When all systems of law break down and government seems hopelessly corrupt, people will seek out any group that appears to have a solution to the problems that are causing so much despair. In Afghanistan, the Taliban seemed to be that group. They were perceived as moral and ethical, and they pledged to clean up the corruption and bring a sense of order to the society. The Afghan culture, especially in rural areas, was already very conservative, so the Taliban probably did not seem excessively extreme at the beginning, plus people were genuinely hopeful that the Taliban would improve things. Of course, the initial support gradually faded, especially when the Taliban proved to be rigid and authoritarian, punitive to girls and women, and unwilling to allow any compromise to their interpretation of Islam. Further, many Taliban were quickly seen as brutal, and some even were involved in the opium trade. In some parts of Afghanistan, support for them remains, but for the most part, they are no longer seen as the answer to the country's problems, the way they were at the beginning of their rule.

Why did America want to have a war against Afghanistan?
We are fighting the war in Afghanistan because we don't want the war here. If the war is here then it ruins our land and kills our people. We are also pushing the Al Qaeda and the Taliban back to their own county while defending the Afghanistan people that are not involved with the Al Qaeda and Taliban. We are kind of also punishing the Al Qaeda and Taliban for what they did on 9/11 too. because the Taliban are stupid enough to commit suicide on a SUPER special building.Correction to the above: Al Qaeda was involved in 9/11. The Taliban were the governing body in Afghanistan. The Taliban were being "punished" (as per media releases from US government) for harbouring Bin Laden. However, upon further investigation the Taliban are being subdued as the American government wants more control over this territory.

There is no coherent group of people who oppose the Taliban. Between 1991-2003, all of those various groups of warlords, tribal leaders, and strongmen who opposed the Taliban formed the Northern Alliance. However, they hated each other only marginally less than they hated the Taliban. It is likely that had they defeated the Taliban without foreign intervention that their government would have fragmented into immediate civil war.
How is war right?
War is right. The war in Afghanistan is to help the country come out of Taliban and to stabilise it. If we didn't fight wars then there would be no control of the world, yes war creates a lot of causalities but if it helps to create a better world then we will have to keep fighting and as a nation support our troops.
What would of happen if 911 didn't happen?
We probably would not have gone to war in Afghanistan and Iraq so many of our soldiers would still be alive.
