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.

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.

Is the Afghanistan war worth it?

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.

How has the US been at war longer in Afghanistan than Vietnam?

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???
