Likely, yes.

There's a caveat here, however.

One who has superior military power can win the war if that is indeed the objective of that force.

Some evidence suggests that both the US policy as well as our unstated policy is not actually to "win the war" in a traditional sense, but to create a new power dynamic that institutes long term security for the region (and vicariously, the US and her allies).

It started in 2001.If you want the actual date here it September 11th 2001.

the sisadvantages of the war in afghanistan would the one the deaths of the inocent civiliens over 132 000 dead since 2001-2011.And we cant forget the death of all the canadien and american soldiers over 19,629.

They joined the Afghan war in 2003.

84,000 US Soldiers are currently at war in Afghanistan

The Afghan leadership made the mistake of harboring a person that the US leadership claimed was responsible for the destruction of the twin towers in New York. When they refused to hand him over Afghanistan was attacked. Leading to further destabilization of the region. death and destruction of innocents and a flood of addictive drugs into its main competitor Europe.

After 9/11, the US decided to invade Afghanistan to overthrow the Taliban regime which was aiding and supporting Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda terrorists. They also wanted to capture Bin Laden.

As of 31 Dec 2011, an estimated 2.5 million Army-Navy-Air Force-Marines have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Actual numbers are elusive with so many Marines and soldiers having served multiple deployments. The Army supplied 54% of the troop strength, with the Navy 17%, the Air Farce 16%, and the Marines 14%; however it must be noted the Army's troop strength of 1.5 million (active duty-National Guard-Reserves) far exceeds the Marine Corps 200,000.

to slums with no governmental or charity help. What a wonderful society we have!!(sarcasm)

They die just as quickly as the adults die.

This information comes from Wikipedia under the heading of The Kingdom of Afghanistan.

On 27 September 1934, under the leadership of Zahir Shah, the Kingdom of Afghanistan joined the League of Nations. During World War II, Afghanistan remained neutral and pursued a diplomatic policy of non-alignment. Prime Minister of Afghanistan at that time Daoud worked hard for developments of modern industries, and education in the country.[2]

Judging by history all wars do come to an end but some take much longer than others. The Afghanistan War has now become the U.S longest war in its history.

Obama says that they will be completely out by 2014 but how many times have we heard that?

The Soviets (Russians) called it their Vietnam because it was long and they didn't do too well. But it was entirely different:

1. The Soviets were not fighting another country. They were fighting insurgents. If the US had just been fighting the VC during the Vietnam War then there would be a more appropiate comparison. However, the US ended up fighting (via the Tonkin Gulf Incident) North Vietnam; that was the North Vietnamese Army.

2. The Soviets were not fighting an enemy air force. The US had to fight the North Vietnamese Air Force which was equipped with Soviet/Chicom (Chinese Communist) MiG17, MiG19, and MiG21s (the MiG21s were supplied only by the USSR).

3. The Soviets were not fighting an enemy navy. The US had to fight the North Vietnamese Navy; their torpedo boats started the Tonkin Gulf Incident.

4. The Soviets were not fighting the an enemy army. The US had to deal with the NVA (North Viet Army). They had PT76 light tanks and T54 medium tanks.

The US war in Afghanistan.

That is actually incorrect. The accepted term for the war in Afghanistan is Operation Enduring Freedom and on a more broader aspect it is the war on terror

The war in Afghanistan seems to have been going on for the longest time. US soldiers were first sent into Afghanistan after the Russian pulled out of Afghanistan. The first US soldiers entered Afghanistan in 2001.

just a quick of my head.

Differences :

Ones a country,the others a Radical organisation.

One was a world war,one was not :)

In ww2 both sides were military powers and used tanks,aircraft, infantry where as Afganistan is a Ambushes and guirella tatics.

Ones deafeating terrorism, Another is defeating a tyrant.

Similarities.

Both have the US/British in.

Both doing it for a "just" cause

that's all i can think off. WW2-Afghanistan is a bad comparison. Maybe Korea-Afgahnistant etc. But WW2-Afghanistan.

It is unknown how many people have died total in Australia. Seven deaths for every 1000 people per year is their average.

The cultivation of opium reached its peak in 1999,

when 225,000 acres - 350 square miles - of poppies were sown...

The following year the Taliban banned poppy cultivation,

declaring it to be "un-Islamic" -

a move which cut production by 94 per cent...

Although there were a number of countries that got involved with the war in Afghanistan, there are a few countries that were the main participants in this tragic war. These include the USA, United Kingdom, Canada, Afghanistan and insurgent groups such as the Taliban and al-Qaeda.

it started in 2001 and it is present

the united states of America is in war with Afghanistan
