Why did America really go to Afghanistan in the first place Was it to catch Osama bin Laden take control of Afghanistan or to help Afghanistan be free again?

Answer 1

BACKGROUND: After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, President George W. Bush demanded that Afghanistan close down the terrorist training camps run by Al-Qaeda, and give up Osama bin Laden and other leaders of Al-Qaeda so they could be put on trial. The Taliban government of Afghanistan refused.

The war in Afghanistan started on October 7, 2001 with an aerial bombing campaign against the Taliban. This helped the organized groups of Afghani people who were already fighting the Taliban. The Taliban was removed from power but is still a strong force in Afghanistan, as of December 2009.

TALIBAN: The United States went in response to the September 11th attacks arguing that Osama bin Laden and his group Al-Qaeda were behind the attacks and could be located in Afghanistan. However, according to the Taliban before and after 9/11 Osama bin Laden was no longer in the country since 2000. This is strong to dispute since the U.S. has not been able to track his actions. The campaign was certainly not to free Afghanistan, since the U.S. agreed that the Taliban could remain in power so long as they handed Al-Qaeda figures over.

That's the official reason, but, look at the geography of the Middle East. Afghanistan is in the middle of the middle east, perfect staging area for invasions into countries such as Iran.

Money has ruined this world, it has caused such a disaster and just to let you know that the War in Afghanistan will be lost by America soon, the real reason America invades any countries in the Middle East is because of OIL, that is why they have a problem with Iran using Nuclear technology because if Iran develops Nuclears it is dangerous to America, but if America arms itself with Nuclears then the world is safe? All you people are after are Muslims and all America is done is made people hate Muslims and especially Pakistanis for some reason. Also Abraham Lincoln stated that " America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves" so that should show that the Talibans are not a threat to America, but America itself is a threat to America.
