Do you believe the war in Afghanistan and Iraq r justified?
This is two different questions because they're two different wars.
The war in Afghanistan is entirely justified for two reasons: the Taliban government of Iraq was harboring Al Qaeda, and the Taliban were themselves a criminal regime. An example: The Taliban decided that males could not be treated by female medical personnel nor could females be treated by male medical personnel. They then published another fatwa prohibiting females from working at jobs outside the home, including in the medical field. The two fatwas combined left every female in Afghanistan without access to medical care. The same thing happened in education; because girls couldn't be educated by male teachers and female teachers couldn't work, girls were prohibited from receiving an education.
Iraq is different. Saddam was a complete thug but all the supposed justifications for the Iraq War rang hollow. Not even the 2003 discovery of a cache of chemical weapons in Iraq proved the need to attack that country--the weapons found weren't enough to launch even one attack.
Are soldiers in Afghanistan allowed to make phone calls to the US?
