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.
America wanted to have war against Afghanistan because they want to crush america.didnt u see on television's burnt the American flag and stepped on America wants to have a war because Afghanistan's hate Christin's even though Afghanistan are Muslims and i are too don't want America to be crushed. r u with me?
because of the 911 attacks
For a pipeline to the Caspian sea and to control opium.
Osama bin Laden was never associated with 911 and you can check his most wanted poster after 911 it never mentions the attacks and I doubt it such charge would ever hold up in court.
The truth is that the Bush administration already had a war planned on the 10th of September in 2001. It was just waiting for the new pearl harbour.
The US took sides in an ongoing civil war in Afghanistan, it did not attack Afghanistan. The reason for taking sides was that the existing theocratic government of Afghanistan had supported terrorist activities against the US.
The US is not at war with the government of Afghanistan.
the united states of America is in war with Afghanistan
attitude of Canadians during the Afghanistan war
The American Indian Wars was America's longest war; 1622-1890.
No, America wanted Afghanistan to be run they way the Americans run their country and the British are too stupid to disagree. Second Answer: The end result of the war in Afghanistan may make it worth it. However, the leaders in America fail to understand the Middle Eastern Culture. They do not understand that when the Islamic people declared a Holy Jihad against America they were not on the same page or even the same book as the Americans. They view us as infidel's. We view them as Muslims who need to stop terrorizing us. They want us to think they way they do.
America is not at war with Afghanistan. America was hunting terrorists there; Operation Enduring Freedom...the result of the 9/11. Mission was accomplished in May 2011 with the taking of their chief terrorist OBL.
Presently they are not at war with them, so no.
Afghanistan has never gone to war with Iraq, so the question is unanswerable.
First of all the classification of the word "war" will have to be agreed upon. WWI, WWII, US Civil War, Spanish-American War of 1898, Korea, Vietnam, etc. were all Fought against a nation. Those nations being: Germany, Japan, Spain, North Korea, North Vietnam, etc. In "Operation Enduring Freedom" in Afghanistan...the United States of America is NOT at war with Afghanistan! Therefore, the "longest war" against what nation???
Nothing. The US is only at war in Afghanistan, not against. The American and Afghanis are working together, much like the Americans and Iraqis, to fight against terrorist groups within Afghanistan and to better the country of Afghanistan.
